Özet
Poland’s syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly with absence or hypoplasia of major and minor pectoral muscles, anomaly of breast or nipple, hypoplasia of subcutaneous tissue, chest wall deformity, pectoral alopecia and axilla, and hand anomalies. Poland’s syndrome is mostly unilateral. Here, we present the second case of bilateral Poland’s syndrome in the literature. The case of a 20 years old male with absence of bilateral pectoralis major muscles and bilateral many other muscles, is hereby presented. He also had bilateral hypoplasic pectoral subcutaneous tissue, pectoral alopecia and Sprengel’s deformity. We think that our case is important since it shows that Poland’s syndrome which was defined as unilateral may be bilateral.
