Abstract:
Background: Poland’s syndrome is an uncommon congenital abnormality characterized by unilateral lack of the pectoralis major muscle, ipsilateral brachysyndactyly, and is occasionally linked with other anterior chest wall deformities.
Case Report: A 28-year-old woman with marked hypoplasia of the right breast without any malformation of the right upper limb since birth was studied. Reconstruction was done with pedicled Latissimus Dorsi myocutaneous flap and silicone implant along with contralateral mastopexy to manage this case. The current literature on the topic is also reviewed.
Conclusion: The surgical method with combined autologous pedicled Latissimus Dorsi myocutaneous flap with implant is a reliable technique for breast reconstruction and can deliver an excellent outcome in long term in selected cases of Poland’s syndrome.
