A rare variation of the right middle suprarenal artery.
According to general knowledge, the suprarenal gland is supplied by three sources: the phrenic artery, the abdominal aorta and the renal artery. Since the gland lacks a hilus, and particularly because of its clinical importance, anatomical arterial sources and branching is still not uniform and it needs to be determined by detail. In this study, the right middle suprarenal artery arising from the right renal artery was observed on the right side of a 45-year-old male cadaver.
