Concurrent Poland anomaly and idiopathic hirsutism

Abstract

Poland syndrome is characterized by congenital and unilateral absence of the pectoralis major muscle and ipsilateral upper limb anomalies. Identified patients also may include other disorders. We report a 15-year-old Caucasian woman with a unilateral hypoplasia of the breast and nipple, ipsilateral chest wall depression deformity, pectoralis major muscle agenesis, and severe hirsutism (Ferriman-Gallwey score: 21) without extremity anomaly. She had regular menses, and no hormonal abnormality and family history of hirsutism. Therefore, she was considered as a case of idiopathic hirsutism. This is the first case report of hirsutism in a patient with Poland syndrome.
