Abstract

Normally, the anterior wall of the lower part rectus sheath is formed by the contribution of aponeuroses of the three flat muscles of the anterior abdominal wall; namely, external oblique internal oblique and transverse abdominis. Here, we report a rare case of fleshy fibers in the lower part anterior wall of rectus sheath. Its surgical importance is also discussed.
