The gracilis muscle has very constant anatomy patterns. The removal of this muscle does not entail any important functional loss of the lower limb function. Therefore, the gracilis muscle has been used in many clinical settings as an element of reconstruction. This article reports a variation of the gracilis muscle anatomy. In a 53-year-old black man corpse, the right gracilis muscle was found divided proximally into two heads the originated separately from the pubic bone and joined 9 cm above knee joint. Onlu one tendon fixed the two heads distally at the tibia. In the left lower limb of the same corpse, the muscle had only one belly originated from the pubis, immediately lower to the pubic tubercle at the inferior ramus of the pubis.
