Poland's Syndrome (PS) is a rare congenital syndrome characterized by the unilateral partial or complete absence of the sternocostal head of the pectoralis major muscle and ipsilateral brachysyndactyly or syndactyly of the fingers. It has been reported to be associated with other diseases, but PS accompanied by neurofibroma has rarely been reported.
