Poland anomaly is a rare pattern of malformations present at birth that includes unilateral changes in the chest and shoulder girdle muscles, forearm bones, and fingers.
Poland anomaly (also known as Poland syndactyly, Poland syndrome, Poland sequence, or Pectoral dysplasia-dysdactyly) was first described in 1841 by Alfred Poland, who was a medical student at Guy's Hospital in London when he noted malformations in the body of a deceased convict named George Elt.
Upon rare occasions, the Poland anomaly is associated with dextrocardia (the position of the heart is the mirror image of its normal position), renal agenesis (maldevelopment of the kidney) or the association with cancers such as leukemia, leiomyosarcoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
