Besides the pectoralis major muscle defect, the defects of deltoid, supra-and infra-supinatus, latissimus dorsi, rectus abdominis, teres major & minor etc. may occur as muscle deformity. And also breast tissue, nipple and areolar, subcutan-eous fat deficiency and abnormality of costal cartilage and anterior ends of ribs may be associa-ted. In the ipsilateral upper extremity, various abnormality including syndactly, brachydactyly may be associated.
This paper describes an experience of Poland´s pectoralis muscle anomaly, which was corrected with latissimus muscular island flap transposition and silastic prosthesis augmentation.
