A variant of Poland's syndrome.
A case of Poland's syndrome--the association of congenital thoracic abnormalities with ipsilateral syndactyly--in a newborn infant is described. The infant demonstrated unusual manifestations of the syndrome: there was extension of the liver through the chest, and there was absence of a whole arm rather than hypoplasia and syndactyly. The authors describe the investigation and treatment of this infant, and they discuss the diversity of findings in Poland's syndrome.
