The rare anatomical anomaly of a double belly soleus muscle has been associated with some clinical and non-clinical correlations in patients. With symptomatic patients, usually not presenting until 20–30 years old, pain is exacerbated by long walks, running, and standing for long periods of time. This presentation could mimic the properties of a soft tissue tumor, thus misleading physicians. The discovery of the double belly soleus muscle is noticed while in surgery, biopsy, computed tomography scan, or magnetic resonance imaging machine. We herewith present a rare case of double belly soleus on the left and right posterior lower leg region of a 58-year-old female cadaver. This article will help bring awareness to the signs and symptoms of this rare anatomical anomaly.
