Poland's Syndrome

Purpose: Poland's syndrome is a congenital and unilateral aplasia of the pectoralis major muscle (PMM), with other anomalies of the ipsilateral upper extremity. We present 6 cases in which the only clinical expression was asymmetry of the breasts associated with partial absence of the PMM. Material and Methods: We reviewed 95000 mammograms (obtained 1985–1995) to find patients with asymmetrical breast size. Where the asymmetry could not be ascribed to any other cause, the patients were recalled for an examination of the PMM which was conducted at rest and with active contraction of the muscle. Results: Unilateral volume reduction of the PMM was found in 5 women of whom 2 were studied with MR. A 6th case was a fortuitous finding in a male patient. Conclusion: Mild forms of Poland's syndrome are more frequent than severe forms, and may go undiagnosed. Hypoplasia of one breast or a horizontal anterior axillary fold may be the sole clinical manifestation of this syndrome.

Pectoralis Muscles

Computed tomography (CT) can demonstrate disorders of the chest wall muscles clearly. CT scans of the thorax were carried out in seven patients with Poland's Syndrome. All patients with Poland's Syndrome had the clavicular portion of the pectoralis major, but were lacking the sternocostal portion of the pectoralis major. The pectoralis minor was absent in four of seven patients.

Limb Deficiency

Two cases of Poland’s syndrome are reported in whom myoelectric prostheses have been used. The rare congenital sporadic disorder of Poland’s syndrome characterized by absence of pectoralis major and varying degrees of ipsilateral upper limb deficiency has been reported by various authors (Rasjad and Sutiaksa, 1991, Gausewitz et al, 1984; David, 1982; Ireland et al, 1976). Management of the upper limb deficiency depends on the degree of functional and cosmetic disability. We report two cases of Poland’s syndrome where myoelectric prostheses have been successfully used. We have been unable to find any published report of the use of a myoelectric prosthesis in Poland’s syndrome.

Poland's Syndrome

Poland’s syndrome is the association of congenital thoracic abnormalities with ipsilateral syndactyly along with various other associated anomalies. A variant of Poland’s syndrome without syndactyly along with review of literature is presented here. Various associated anomalies of the syndrome is summarized. Syndactyly believed to be constant features in Poland’s Syndrome in earlier reports, may not be present.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/njr.v1i1.6328 Nepalese Journal of Radiology Vol.1(1): 65-69
