Medical College, Udaipur (Rajasthan) in thirty adult embalmed cadavers (23 males and 7 females) of the age group 50 to 60 years. Results: Psoas minor muscle was present in eight (26.66%) cases. Morphology of muscle showed a wide variation its muscle belly and its tendinous mode of insertion on either pecten pubis (in five cases) or as merging with obturator fascia and iliac fascia (in three cases).
