Introduction: Biceps brachii is a flexor muscle of arm which frequently shows variations. Biceps has been recognised with a maximum number of seven heads. In forearm, flexor digitorum superficialis and palmaris longus shows frequent variations. We have come across two additional muscles: one in arm and one in forearm. During routing dissection we observed an additional muscle belly in between biceps brachii and brachialis in left arm and an extra muscle in forearm of same side. This extra muscle in forearm was close to Flexor Carpi Ulnaris (FCU). An additional muscle in arm took origin just below the coracobrachialis whereas, an extra muscle in forearm was originating from medial epicondyle. After careful examination, we concluded these muscles as third head of biceps brachii and digastrics FCU, a rare muscle in arm and forearm respectively. Digastric FCU can be utilis ed for tendon transfer, tendon lengthening in the patients with paralytic disorders.
