Abstract:Presentamos un paciente varón de 19 años con síndrome de Poland. Este síndrome consiste básicamente en agenesia de los músculos pectorales mayor y menor acompañada de braquisindactilia ipsilateral. Se desconoce la etiología. El tratamiento quirúrgico de la sindactilia mejora la capacidad funcional. Las anomalías de la pared torácica se suelen corregir cuando existe herniación del pulmón o hipoplasia mamaria.
