Poland syndrome is a congenital syndrome characterized by the absence of the pectoralis major muscle. Additional findings may include a lack of the pectoralis minor muscle, breast and upper extremity deformities, nondevelopment of breast tissue, axillary alopecia, and the absence of ribs 2 to 5, the latissimus dorsi, serratus anterior, and the external oblique muscles. Same side thoracic depression, paradoxical movement of the thorax and pulmonary hernia may occur. It is estimated that Poland syndrome is generally seen at a frequency of 1/30000. Presently described are these 2 cases that are rare due to diagnosis at adult age.

Keywords: Poland syndrome, congenital thorax anomaly, pectoral muscle
