title: [A man with an asymmetrical thoracic wall].
abstract: A 57- year-old policeman fell during a violent arrest. He presented with pain and a hematoma in the right axillary region. Physical examination showed an asymmetrical contour of the anterior axillary fold and loss of strength during internal rotation and flexion of the right shoulder. These symptoms are specific for a pectoralis major muscle rupture.
