title: Concurrent Poland anomaly and idiopathic hirsutism.
abstract: Poland syndrome is characterized by congenital and unilateral absence of the pectoralis major muscle and ipsilateral upper limb anomalies. Identified patients also may include other disorders. We report a 15-year-old Caucasian woman with a unilateral hypoplasia of the breast and nipple, ipsilateral chest wall depression deformity, pectoralis major muscle agenesis, and severe hirsutism (Ferriman-Gallwey score: 21) without extremity anomaly. She had regular menses, and no hormonal abnormality and family history of hirsutism. Therefore, she was considered as a case of idiopathic hirsutism. This is the first case report of hirsutism in a patient with Poland syndrome.
