Left-Sided Poland Syndrome With No Hand Anomalies: A Case Report

A 22-year-old female presented to the surgical outpatient department with a complaint of left-breast hypoplasia. Upon physical examination, the left anterior chest wall was depressed, the left pectoral region was flattened, and the nipple was displaced. The absence of the pectoralis major sternocostal head was visible during shoulder abduction. Physical examination of the hands did not show any signs of ipsilateral digital abnormality. Chest X-ray revealed hyper translucent left-sided hemithorax with crowding of ribs and faint left breast soft tissue. A computed tomography scan (CT scan) reported a complete non-visualization of the left-sided pectoralis major, minor, and serratus anterior. Hence, a diagnosis of Poland syndrome involving left hemithorax in a female patient was established. The patient decided to have reconstructive surgery for purely cosmetic reasons.
