Variant of Poland's Syndrome: Hypoplasia of The Unilateral Breast and Pectoral Muscle

Abstract

Poland's syndrome is an uncommon congenital and unilateral anomaly of the breast and thoracic cage. It may be associated with other anomalies of the ipsilateral upper extremity. We herein report a rare case of a patient with hypoplasia of the left breast and absent of the left anterior axillary fold being the sole clinical manifestation of this syndrome.©2006, Fırat Üniversitesi, Tıp Fakültesi
