Abstract
During 2006-2007 term, we found variations of the right lateral and medial circumflex femoral arteries of a 67-yearold cadaver. The ascending and the transvers branches of the lateral circumflex femoral artery were branching from a common trunk which was originating from the femoral artery; the descending branch originated from the femoral artery, distal to the origin of the deep femoral artery. The ascending branch of the medial circumflex femoral artery originated directly from the femoral artery, and the descending branch originated from the deep
femoral artery. In addition, inferior epigastric and deep circumflex iliac arteries originated from the femoral artery. We discussed the variations on our cadaver with the literature.
