Poland syndrome is a constellation of anomalies including absent pectoralis muscle and rib defects, even with malformations of the upper extremity that more often affects boys than girls. This case describes a 5-year-old and 4-month-old girl diagnosed with Poland syndrome that required chest wall reconstruction. An autologous rib transplantation and terylene patch were used for repair of the chest wall defect. The girl had a satisfactory postoperative recovery. This technique was an effective method of treatment of this condition. (C) 2008 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
