2 Cases of Poland Syndrome

Abstract

Poland's syndrome, (Poland's anomaly) is a rare birth defect characterized by underdevelopment or absence of the chest muscles (pectoralis) on one side of the body and webbing of the fingers (cutaneous syndactyly) of the ipsilateral hand mostly common on the right side of body and found more in males than females. It is usually considered a unilateral condition.

Because of the rarity of the disease and chance of missing it in routine clinical examination we are presenting two patients with Poland's syndrome seen in our clinic in the same month who were completely un aware of their anomalies
