Abstract
Poland syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by agenesis of the pectoralis major muscle. It is usually unilateral and right-sided and can be associated with several thoracic and upper limb defects. Early diagnosis and timely therapeutic approaches play an important role, improving the quality of life of patients and their families. This case report aims to show the benefits of early diagnosis, especially for follow-up management.
