The passage of the femoral artery through the substance of the sartorius muscle and its clinical consequences are presented. In the series of cadavers studied, the incidence of occurrence of this condition is probably less than 0.001% in both Caucasians and black Africans. It is suggested that this anomaly which rarely occurs is due to the angioblastic column of cells forming the femoral artery passing through the myoblastic column of cells forming the sartorius muscle.
