Poland’s syndrome: a rare case report

Abstract
Poland’s syndrome is a rare congenital condition. It is classically characterized by absence of unilateral chest wall muscles and sometimes ipsilateral symbrachydactyly (abnormally short and webbed fingers). The condition typically presents with unilateral absence of the sternal or breast bone portion of the pectoralis major muscle which may or may not be associated with the absence of nearby musculoskeletal structures. We report a 25-year-old male patient with typical features of Poland’s syndrome. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first documented case of a patient with Poland’s syndrome reported from Chennai.
