Bicipital rib is an unusual anatomical peculiarity results due to fusion of shaft of cervical rib with first rib or the first rib and second rib.We found the Bicipital rib belonging to left side in osteology lab, Department of Anatomy, Vijayanagar institute of medical sciences, Bellary, Karnataka, India. Detailed morphological examination done and relevant measurements recorded. A rib anomaly may indicate underlying systemic disease causing musculoskeletal pain or intercostals nerve entrapment and may also cause Thoracic outlet syndrome.
