Right-sided Poland syndrome with no classical hand deformity: A case report

Abstract

Poland syndrome (PS) is a rare congenital condition characterized by the developmental anomaly of the chest wall, and classically presents with ipsilateral agenesis/hypoplasia of sternocostal head of pectoralis major which remains as the essential feature of the condition. It may or may not be associated with ipsilateral limb abnormalities. Diagnosis is mainly clinical. Imaging modalities like chest X-Ray, CT chest, US, and 3D-VRT CT can be used to know about the extent of involvement of this anomaly. We hereby present a case of a 25-year-old male who visited our hospital with chief complaint of poor development of right-sided chest wall, who was later diagnosed with right-sided Poland syndrome with no classical hand deformity. Every physician must put a differential diagnosis of PS in the back of mind while dealing with the case of poor development of chest wall.
