Popis: Variations of the axillary artery and its branches are quite common. Some variations are clinically significant and knowledge of them can be useful for prevention of diagnostic errors during surgical interventions in the axillary fossa. The article deals with a branching pattern of the right subscapular artery (that has not been described in the literature before) from which anterior and posterior circumflex humeral arteries, circumflex scapular, thoracodorsal and profunda brachii artery arise. The latter followed downwards to the canal for radial nerve and didn’t give any branches, except for the superior ulnar collateral artery. The external diameter of the profunda brachii artery was 4 mm. No variations in the first and second parts of the right and all parts of the left axillary arteries were discovered. The branching pattern description of the subscapular artery can be important and essential for surgeons and radiologists. The additional fibrous band was also found during dissection of right arm. Key words: dissection, subscapular artery, variant anatomy, fibrous band.
