The musculocutaneous nerve originates in the lateral cord and extends outwards, passing beneath the coracobrachialis muscle before proceeding to its initial branch, leading to the biceps brachialis muscle. The abnormal origination of the musculocutaneous nerve in the cadaver was in the midpoint of the arm from the median nerve. A thin nerve branch also innervated the coracobrachialis muscle, originated in the lateral cord, and continued laterally.&nbsp;<br> <strong>Conclusion</strong>: Since no accurate similarity was reported, we consider this variation unusual and useful, especially for surgical purposes.</span></span></span></div> Anatomical variation, Arm, Brachial plexus, Median nerve, Musculocutaneous nerve, Upper limb 23 26 http://anatomyjournal.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-213-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Sajed Khaledi sajedkhaledi@yahoo.com 10031947532846007509 0009-0008-1987-1208 No Department of Anatomical Sciences, Faculty of Medical Sciences, Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran, Iran.
