During dissection practice held at Kyorin University School of Medicine in 2004, two anomalous muscles were observed on the Rt-forearm-flexor-side of an 83-year-old man. The results of this investigation are reported. One accessory muscle originated from the tendinous insertion of the biceps brachii and medial epicondyle. After passing through the deep layer of the pronator teres, it became tendinous, passing towards the trapezium and second metacarpal base. Its two origins fused superficial to the ulnar artery distal to the cubital fossa, and it merged with the deep region of the pronator teres. More distally, the accessory muscle formed a belly before again becoming tendinous and bifurcated, one branch attaching to the trapezium and the other fusing with the belly of the second accessory muscle. These findings suggested that this accessory muscle was similar to Gantzer's muscle. The other accessory muscle arose distal to the origin of the flexor pollicis longus and inserted onto the second metacarpal base. In addition, from the distal side of its origin, a small muscle bundle was formed and became tendinous. It fused with the insertion tendon of the first accessory muscle to the trapezium. The second accessory muscle was thought to be deep radial carpal flexor.
