title: Poland syndrome with a rare association.
abstract: Poland syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly typically characterized by unilateral chest wall hypoplasia and ipsilateral hand abnormalities. Occasionally functionally debilitating, the disorder is mostly benign in nature with the severe deformities requiring surgical correction. A need to watch for possible malignant associations is also warranted. We present a case of a young female with the quintessential features of Poland syndrome with a relatively rare association of ipsilateral renal hypoplasia. We review the literature and discuss the possible renal complications that may arise and their management.
