%X Poland sequence is a birth defect typically described as unilateral congenital
absence of the pectoralis muscle, which may be associated with the occurrence of
other ipsilateral thoracic and/or upper extremities anomalies that cover different
degrees of functional severity and esthetic alterations. The literature describes various types of association with different syndromes; however, its etiology
remains unknown and several hypotheses about the possible cause of this disease
exist, being the most accepted the one that deals with vascular disruption
processes. In the clinical practice, mild forms of expression can be ignored, but in
the most severe cases, the attention of a multidisciplinary group of specialists is
required for disease management. A systematic literature review on Poland
sequence was made.
