abstract: A variant case of Poland syndrome is reported, with the patient presenting major unilateral anomalies in the sternocostal head of the left pectoralis major muscle and a shorter left arm and hand. No pre-natal history of attempted abortion or using toxic or teratogenic drugs could be elicited.
