Abstract

Introductión: Poland sequence is a rare set of congenital defects characterized by total or partial agenesis of the chest muscle (pectoralis major) with varied associations of other defects at the level of thorax and superior limbs. Its presentation is sporadic and most often affects one side of the body.
Objective: to characterize Poland sequence in two individuals of the same family from the clinical point of view.
Material and Methods: a descriptive study of case reports.
Conclusions: the findings lead to a familial transmission of gene susceptibility participating in the origin of this syndrome under the potential actions of environmental factors that justify the marked clinical heterogeneity of this birth defect.
