ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Lateral thoracic artery is one of the branches of second part of axillary artery which arises near thelateral border of pectoralis minor.Aim andObjectives:

54 axillae from embalmed cadavers allotted for dissection were used for the study.There were 22 male and 5 female cadavers, with ages ranging from 60 to 80 years, specimens of both sides wereused.Results:
The commonest variation was common trunk for Lateral thoracic artery and Thoracodorsal Artery(9.5%).Conclusion:
