Abstract (2. Language): 
During routine dissection for undergraduate first MBBS students a variation was found in the right upper limb of a 70 year old male donated embalmed cadaver in the department of Anatomy of K.J.Somaiya Medical College, Sion, Mumbai, INDIA. The unusual separate short and long heads of the biceps brachii were observed. The short head originated from the tip of the coracoid process of the scapula. The long head originated from the supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula. The short head of the biceps brachii muscle got inserted into the radial tuberosity of the radius separately. The long head got inserted into the radial tuberosity and bicipital aponeurosis. The left upper limb of the cadaver was normal. Topographical anatomy and variations of the bicephs brachii muscle is clainically important for surgeons, orthopaedicians, radiologists and anaesthetists performing pain management therapies.
