Abstract
Two patients with Poland's syndrome were surgically treated with good results. The first case was associated with defect of the right major pectoral muscle, ipsilateral syndactyly, brachydactyly and hypoplastic phalanges of the hand, in addition to patent ductus arterosus. In the second case, there were defects of the right major and minor pectoral muscles and deformity of the ipsilateral ribs and sternum without deformity of the hand.
In the first case, division of the patent ductus arterosus was performed, and in the second case, deformity of the thoracic cage was corrected successfully. International literature on Poland' syndrome is reviewed.
