Temporalis is an important muscle of mastication. In recent years, there has been controversy about its detailed anatomy, and claims have been made about the existence of a variant muscle, sphenomandibularis. The present case report describes an anomalous muscle within the infratemporal fossa distinct from both temporalis and sphenomandibularis. Functionally the muscle could pull the buccinator laterally as the jaw closes.
颞肌是咀嚼的一块重要肌肉。近年来，关于其详细解剖结构存在争议，有人声称存在一种变异肌肉，即蝶下颌肌。本病例报告描述了颞下窝内一块不同于颞肌和蝶下颌肌的异常肌肉。在功能上，当 jaw 闭合时，该肌肉可将颊肌向外牵拉。 （注：原文中“jaw”结合语境推测可能是“下颌”，但单看此处翻译有些不完整，若能明确“jaw”准确含义，译文会更精准）
