Abstract
A case of Poland's syndrome - the association of congenital thoracic a bnormalities with ipsilateral syndactyly - in a newborn infant is desc ribed. The infant demonstrated unusual manifestations of the syndrome: there was extension of the liver through the chest, and there was abs ence of a whole arm rather than hypoplasia and syndactyly. The authors describe the investigation and treatment of this infant, and they dis cuss the diversity of findings in Poland's syndrome.
