Abstract :The anomalies of the soleus muscle are described in anatomy textbooks. The most common is the presence of a second muscle anterior to the normal one. The variations of insertion are either as fusion with the normal Achilles tendon or with independent anterior insertion. These variations are usually encountered during cadaver dissections or if symptomatic, in the radiological examinations. They are often clinically significant and may require surgical treatment. The present cadaver had a two- bellied soleus muscle. One was anatomically normal. The aberrant one originated from the normal belly on its medial side and inserted to the medial side of the calcaneus in the form of a separate tendon.
