A pair of sternalis muscles have been found on both sides of the chest in an adult Taiwanese male. The muscles are located superficial to the medial part of the pectoralis major, arising from the sternum and are inserted into the sheaths of the rectus abdominis. They are innervated by the intercostal nerve. It should be emphasized that the sternalis muscle is rarely found in Taiwan.
