Abstract (2. Language): 
While doing the routine dissection for the undergraduate students in NRS Medical College, Kolkata, India, few vascular variations were found in the right upper limb of one seventy year old male cadaver. The dissection was done in September, in the year 2013 and variations were detected in the superficial and deep veins of the right superior extremity of the cadaver concerned. The right basilic vein joined the two brachial veins (venae comitantes of the brachial artery) separately in the right axilla, close to the shoulder joint, instead of at the lower margin of teres major or subscapularis muscle and formed the right axillary vein. On the left sided superior extremity no such venous variation was detected. This case report will contribute to the fields of Gross and Clinical Anatomy, at the same time may be of help to the surgeons and other clinicians for any invasive procedure or surgical approach in the upper limb like introduction of cardiac catheters and formation of arteriovenous fistula. So the case report has importance in surgery, cardiology and nephrology in addition to Anatomy.
