Co-existence of the pectoralis quartus and pectoralis intermedius muscles

Morphologie, 2006
During the routine dissection studies on the right side of a 56-year-old female cadaver we encountered co-existence of the pectoralis quartus and pectoralis intermedius muscles. The pectoralis quartus originated from the costochondral junction of the fifth and sixth ribs, and then extended laterally under the border of pectoralis major muscle, but it ...

Pectoralis muscle wasting during chemotherapy.

Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2020
e24069 Background: Chemotherapy is often followed by muscle mass loss which has been associated with frailty. We explored factors associated with change in pectoralis muscle mass after chemotherapy. We hypothesized greater muscle loss with time would be associated with poorer overall survival. Methods: We identified individuals with breast cancer (N =

Pectoralis Major Muscle Injuries: Evaluation and Management

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2005
Pectoralis major muscle tears are relatively rare injuries that primarily occur while lifting weights, particularly when doing a bench press. Complete ruptures are most commonly avulsions at or near the humeral insertion. Ruptures at the musculo-tendinous junction and intramuscular tears usually are caused by a direct blow.
