Résumé
The anterior digastric muscle belly (ADMB) may present significant variations of substantial surgical importance. We present an unusual complex bilateral asymmetry of an accessory ADMB found when dissecting the submental area in a 72-year-old Greek male cadaver. A rare variant was recognized in the submental area constituted by a combination of bilateral asymmetry of the ADMB with unilateral absence of the intermediate tendon. The complex variant caused an obvious morphological asymmetry in the submental area. Such muscular variations may alter the surgical approach to the submental region. Clinicians involved in the treatment of this area should be aware of any possible variant, particularly when dealing with neck mass patients.
