A two‐year‐old girl who presented with Symbrachydactyly of the left foot associated with the absence of the right pectoralis major muscle was treated with phalangization of the toes. No other abnormalities were noted. The operative procedure was performed in two stages, separated by eight months. Excellent cosmetic and functional results were obtained. The combination of Symbrachydactyly of the foot and congenital absence of the contralateral pectoralis major muscle is extremely rare.
