Abstract
Three cases of familial unilateral gluteal hypoplasia are reported. Th e index case in addition to having gluteal hypoplasia also has unilate ral pectoral muscle hypoplasia. Another relative has unilateral symbra chydactyly of the distal phalanges of one foot. All four affected indi viduals in our pedigree were female. We propose that our cases are bes t classified as part of the Poland complex of anomalies. Our cases emp hasize that intrafamilial phenotypic heterogeneity is possible within the Poland complex.
