An abnormal muscle was observed in the superficial region of the popliteal fossa during a dissection procedure conducted for medical students. This abnormal muscle originated from the biceps femoris tendon and inserted into the medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle. The innervating nerve branched from the lateral sural cutaneous nerve. The distributing artery arose from a branch of the sural artery. This abnormal muscle mostly comprised one sheet of muscle mass (not tendon type) and ran transversely.
