“…Reports show that amazia may be associated with choanal atresia, hemiface, limbs and vertebrae abnormalities (OZSOY et al, 2007;PAPADIMITROU et al, 2009). On the other hand, there are reports showing cases of unilateral amathia with no other findings (KACHEWAR, 2010; NSO-ROCA; AGUIRRE-BALSALOBRE; JUSTE RUIZ, 2012;RAO, 2015).…”

Scenario: Congenital amazia is a very rare anomaly in which the mammary gland is absent unilaterally or bilaterally in the presence of the nipple-areolar complex (NAC). When one or both breasts are not developed during female puberty, the referenced treatment is mammoplasty for aesthetic purposes (silicone). Goals: We reported the case and mammographic and ultrasound images of a woman with unilateral amazema who underwent control mammography. The images were analyzed by a radiologist from a diagnostic imaging clinic in the city of Manaus/AM (Brazil). Methods: This is a 41-year-old, healthy, asymptomatic patient who underwent her first screening mammogram at the Clínica de Diagnóstico por Imagem -Sensumed. The analysis and report of the images were performed by a radiologist linked to the site. Conclusion:The literature presents few reported cases of unilateral amazon without association with other abnormalities, therefore it is a rare condition of uncertain incidence in the general population. In these cases, the patient must be instructed to undergo screening mammography for breast cancer from the age of 40 onwards in the breast with parenchyma present. More studies on this entity are interesting for the correct management of these patients and a timely surgical approach.

“…Amastia can occur with or without the congenital absence of the nipple‐areola complex, athelia . Failure of breast growth despite normal underlying mammary tissue is referred to as either aplasia when there is no breast or hypoplasia when the breast is small . Aplastic deformities of the breast occur as an isolated anomaly or in association with recognized syndromes such as Poland's Syndrome, the focus of this paper .…”

“…2 Aplastic deformities of the breast occur as an isolated anomaly or in association with recognized syndromes such as Poland's Syndrome, the focus of this paper. 2 A previous paper has focused on basic information radiologists should know about accessory breast tissue. 3 Poland's Syndrome is a congenital defect in which the absence of the pectoralis major muscle is often seen in conjunction with ipsilateral aplasia or hypoplasia of the breast concurrently with ipsilateral deformities of the hand such as brachydactyly (short fingers), syndactyly (webbed fingers), or ecterodactyly (a cleft hand).…”

Poland's Syndrome is rare, therefore, clinicians may not be familiar with all that potentially defines this disorder. Much of the literature that exists regarding Poland's Syndrome focuses on the surgical correction of breast asymmetry for cosmesis. Inspired by a patient at our institution, this paper reviews this rare breast disorder and its associated findings within the context of the whole woman with special attention to breast cancer in this cohort.
