Pentafurcation of celiac trunk: a case report and review of the literature

Understanding the normal anatomical structure of the coeliac trunk and the variations in its branching pattern has significant reference value in surgery, oncology and radiological interventional procedures. Clinicians should remain vigilant in clinical practice and be prepared to address potential anatomical variations they may encounter. Furthermore, rare anatomical variations should be thoroughly documented and reported to enrich medical literature and provide valuable resources for anatomical teaching.
