Abstract:
Poland's syndrome which is associated with thoracic anomaly and ipsilateral syndactyly is not hereditary and is of unknown origin. It was described first Alfred Poland in 1841 year. This syndrome affects males more frequently than females. We have experienced two cases of Polands syndrome who were all male and each case revealed thoracic anomalies; abscent pectoral muscles and anterior axillary fold, pectus excavatum, and ipsilateral syndactyly with aplasia or hypoplasla of the middle phalanx.
