Abstract
The Poland syndrome consists of congenital unilateral absence of the pectoralis major muscle and ipsilateral anomalies of the hand, typically syndactyly. It may be combined with many other anomalies. Recently, we experienced an 8 days old boy, who had the total absence of the metacarpals and phalanges of left hand and defect of the pectoralis muscle on the same side. A brief review of the related literature is presented.
Key Words: Poland syndrome.
