Abstract
- A 22-year-old male college student had a syndactyly between the second and third fingers of his left hand, which was congenitally small in size. His left pectoralis muscles were absent. He first walked at the age of 12 months, but soon developed difficulties in walking due to weakness of the legs. Atrophy and weakness of the legs aggravated gradually. He was diagnosed as having peroneal muscular atrophy and Poland syndrome, an association of which has not been reported before. A small number of similar cases of peroneal muscular atrophy with various skeletal abnormalities in the literature suggest that the association is not incidental, but of clinical significance.
