NGC 4580 is an unbarred spiral galaxy[2] located about 70 million light-years away[3] in the constellation Virgo.

The inner pseudoring of the galaxy is very well-defined and is made of two tightly wound spiral arms.

Three very diffuse spiral arms which are partly defined by dust, split off from the inner pseudoring.

This may be due to ram-pressure stripping[2] caused by the infall of the Messier 49 subcluster into the Virgo Cluster.

[8] Due to the truncation of the star forming disk, NGC 4580 is classified as an anemic galaxy.
