title: Aplasia of pectoralis major muscle and renal anomalies.
abstract: We describe two patients with aplasia of the pectoralis major muscle and renal anomalies. We think such an association, which has been reported previously, represents a new congenital malformation, probably not a syndrome but an acro-pectoro-renal field defect. We recommend renal ultrasonography be done on all children with aplasia of the pectoralis major.
