Poland’s Syndrome: A Case Report

Poland’s Syndrome is a rare congenital condition. It is classically characterized by absence of unilateral chest wall muscles and sometimes ipsilateral symbrachydactyly (abnormally short and webbed fingers). The condition typically presents with unilateral absence of the sternal or breastbone portion of the pectoralis major muscle which may or may not be associated with the absence of nearby musculoskeletal structures. We report a 12-year-old boy patient with typical features of Poland syndrome. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first documented case of a patient with Poland syndrome reported from Rwanda.
