The axillary arch is reported to occur in 7% of the population, but in our experience has only been observed in 0.25%. The anatomical features are described and its importance in axillary dissection is indicated. In addition, its relevance to the prevention of lymphoedema and to the construction of latissimus dorsi flaps is discussed. The axillary arch should be considered in the differential diagnosis of axillary swellings.
据报道，腋下弓在7%的人群中出现，但根据我们的经验，仅在0.25%的人群中观察到。本文描述了其解剖特征，并指出了其在腋窝清扫术中的重要性。此外，还讨论了其与预防淋巴水肿及背阔肌皮瓣构建的相关性。在腋窝肿物的鉴别诊断中应考虑腋下弓。
