title: Poland's syndrome and carcinoma of the breast: a case report.
abstract: Poland's syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly that may include mammary hypoplasia and has been described in association with various malignancies. We report the case of a 42-year-old woman with unilateral Poland's syndrome who developed carcinoma in the hypoplastic breast. A review of the literature reveals no previous report of carcinoma of the hypoplastic breast with Poland's syndrome.
