“…However other smaller series have shown fasciotomy and excision to be equally effective. 1,13 There does seem to be a trend in the literature towards complete excision of the accessory soleus in athletic patients and in general, fasciotomy can be considered for patients with a small accessory soleus or with low activity level and excision for patients with a large accessory muscle and those involved in high level sporting activities.…”

“…1 It may be unilateral or bilateral and although congenital, it is usually asymptomatic and may only present in the second to third decade of life, possibly due to the increased muscle mass and activity during this period. 2 It may mimic a soft tissue tumour of the lower leg 3 and present with painful syndromes of the calf, ankle and foot.…”

BACKGROUND: Accessory soleus muscle may give rise to symptoms such as pain with exertion, during running and jumping. The study of these types of variations with its frequencies is important in the planning of operative treatment. Recognition of an accessory soleus muscle is an issue that needs to be addressed for this reason, the present study was proposed. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: Aim of the present study was to find out the presence of accessory soleus muscle and its frequency in cadaveric lower limbs and to note if there was any variation in its origin and insertion. MATERIAL AND METHODS.-All together 40 Lower limbs of 20 cadavers (16 males and 04 females) were dissected. Origin and insertion of soleus muscle was observed meticulously and presence of accessory soleus muscle was recorded and photographed. RESULT: Out of 20 cadavers two male cadavers (four lower limbs) that are 10% showed accessory soleus muscle bilateraly, with a rare and unique insertion. CONCLUSION: The present study highlights rare variation pertaining to the insertion of soleus muscle which should be kept in mind by the surgeons, orthopaedicians, radiologists and also by physiotherapists.

“…The differential diagnosis includes the lipomas, hemangiomas, ganglion, synoviomas and sarcomas 4 . The only clinical sign presented by accessory soleus is that the tumefaction becomes hard if the patient is asked to contract triceps surae against resistance and on releasing the resistance it becomes soft.…”
