PICHARDO LEON, Narciso  y  PUENTE ALVAREZ, Antonio. Poland syndrome associated to dextrocardia. AMC [online]. 2010, vol.14, n.2. ISSN 1025-0255.

A Poland syndrome case is reported (absence of greater pectoral muscle and brachydactylia in the ipsilateral hand) with dextrocardia, in a woman. The absence of greater pectoral muscle without affection of the superior limb may be a variant of this syndrome. In most of the patients happen in the right hemibody, usually without costal defects. It is reported due to the association of two features that are no common in Poland syndrome, like its presentation in the left side and its association with dextrocardia. Also, this patient presents defect in the ribs that usually appears when the primary anomaly is in the left side.
