Abstract
The acromion in the Pietrain sow is described. This anatomical structure occurred in both, right and left scapula. Accessible literature lacks of information about acromion in the Pietrain pig. The comparative anatomy and veterinary anatomy textbooks state absence of this structure in Suidae. The described case indicates the possibility of this morphological variation also in suide. Probably, this anatomical formation occurrence is linked with strong development of shoulder girdle muscles and muscles of arm.
