“…2 While the exact pathophysiology of Poland syndrome is unknown, the most widely accepted theory is the hypoplasia of the subclavian artery or its branches during the sixth week of gestation while the upper limb bud and chest wall are in development. 1,3,4 Most cases of Poland syndrome are sporadic, with a <1% risk of reoccurrence in the same family. 1,2 In patients with familial Poland syndrome, an autosomal dominant with incomplete penetrance pattern has been demonstrated.…”

Poland syndrome is characterized by unilateral hypoplasia of the breast, chest wall deformities, and arm and hand deficits. The syndrome has a large spectrum with degrees of severity and presentation. This congenital condition has been well reported in literature with a broad range of options for surgical correction. We report a 15-year-old female with typical features of Poland syndrome and the reconstructive efforts undertaken to preserve pectoralis function and a normal chest wall while creating a natural-looking breast with the prepectoral method of breast reconstruction using acellular dermal matrix.

“…Poland’s syndrome is a unilateral congenital defect displaying a wide variety of deformities, mostly of soft tissues and the skeleton (Dustagheer et al ., 2009; Gashegu et al ., 2009; Baltayiannis et al ., 2011; Majdak-Paredes et al ., 2015). The severity of the deformities in patients vary from person to person; however, all the manifestations of the syndrome are rarely simultaneously present in one individual (Pereira et al ., 2008; Urschel, 2009; Lee et al ., 2012; Al Faleh et al ., 2014).…”

Purpose Poland’s syndrome patients often seek medical interventions to improve their aesthetic appearances. Design and manufacturing technologies make it possible to produce custom-made implants for such medical conditions. The purpose of this study was to compare the 3D digital geometries that were designed using Magics and Geomagic® Freeform® for two anonymous case studies of Poland’s syndrome patients. Design/methodology/approach Computed tomography data were acquired and processed in Mimics® to isolate the pectoralis muscles in STL file format. STL files were imported into Magics and Geomagic® Freeform® to design 3D digital geometries. Thereafter, comparative analyses were performed of the respective 3D digital geometries. Findings The angle between the vertical and oblique planes for both sides of the thorax was 6.5° for the female and 14° for the male. The surface areas and volumes of the geometries for the female were smaller than the male. Deviation analyses between the healthy side and reconstructed side of a thorax showed that 73 per cent of the test points for Magics and 78 per cent for Geomagic® Freeform® fell in the nominated tolerance region of >−5 and <+5 mm for the female. For the male, it was 83 per cent for Magics and 88 per cent for Geomagic® Freeform®. Practical implications Geomagic® Freeform® provides a more versatile design environment; however, the STL editor Magics may be an option to design 3D geometries for less intricate and less contoured implants. Originality/value This was a first attempt to compare the 3D geometries for Poland’s syndrome designed with an STL editor to those designed with a computer-aided design program.

“…The current theory on the etiology of Poland's Syndrome is subclavian artery hypoplasia, 2 caused by kinking of the artery during the sixth week of gestation: the stronger the interaction, the more severe the pathology. Foucras et al 3 introduced a classification in three grades of the forms affecting the chest wall and breast, and appropriate treatment was proposed according to the degree of involvement.…”

Aesthetic restoration of Poland's syndrome in a male patient using free anterolateral thigh perforator flap as autologous filler

We report a case of a male patient with Poland's anomaly who was reconstructed with a free anterolateral thigh perforator flap. The flap was used successfully as an autologous filler to recreate the anterior axillary line and correct the chest contour deformity. The use of the free anterolateral thigh perforator flap is an excellent choice as an autologous filler to correct mild and moderate deformity in male Poland's syndrome, carrying low morbidity and leaving both minimal scarring and functional sequelae.
