Poland's Syndrome is a rare congenital condition. It is classically characterised by absence of unilateral chest wall muscles and sometimes ipsilateralsymbrachydactyly (abnormally short and webbed fingers). The condition typically presents with unilateral absence of the sternal or breast bone portion of the pectoralis major muscle which may or may not be associated with the absence of nearby musculoskeletal structures. Most of the Poland Syndrome is sporadic. We report a 19-year-old patient with variant of Poland Syndrome. To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the few documented cases of a patient with Poland Syndrome reported from Bangladesh.
