“…Usually, the PCHA will originate directly from the axillary artery, which is divided into three segments. The first artery, commonly off the axillary artery, is the superior thoracic artery, originating from the first segment [ 2 , 3 ]. The second segment has both the thoracoacromial artery and the lateral thoracic artery.…”

“…The second segment has both the thoracoacromial artery and the lateral thoracic artery. The third segment of the axillary artery commonly includes the subscapular artery (SSA), the anterior circumflex humeral artery (ACHA), and PCHA [ 3 ]. The SSA, the largest branch of the distal part of the axillary artery, usually divides into the thoracodorsal and circumflex scapular arteries.…”

Prior knowledge of possible variantions in human anatomy is essential for basic medical and clinical training. Many surgeons can avoid uncharacteristic situations by having sources and availability of resources that document potential irregularities in human anatomy. In this case, a human cadaver is identified as having an altered origin of the posterior circumflex humeral artery (PCHA). While it usually stems from the axillary artery, this cadaver had a left-sided PCHA originating from the subscapular artery (SSA) and continuing into the quadrangular space. This irregularity of the PCHA from the SSA is not commonly discussed in the literature. Physicians and anatomists need to be fully aware of this possibility and be prepared for any unexpected differences in anatomy during procedures.
