Introduction: the extensor digitorum brevis manus (EDBM) is a rare supernumerary muscle variation of great medical interest regarding differential diagnosis. This structure is an evolutionary evidence, supposedly atavistic, poorly understood. Material and Methods: the present study carried out in the collections of the medical schools of two Brazilian universities, evaluated the occurrence of this muscle formation and described morphologically and morphometrically, three samples. Results: two specimens were classified, according to the standardization proposal of Ogura et al.1 as type III and the third specimen was an atypical finding - it did not fit this classification. The incidence was slightly higher than the average in the literature (3/60 - 5%). Conclusion: thus, we understand that the extensor digitorum brevis manus muscle (EDBM) needs further investigations: first, to characterize it from a phylogenetic and ontogenetic point of view along with answers to developmental questions; moreover, to allow further anatomical elucidations for differential and surgical diagnosis purposes.
