Abstract
Background: The Poland syndrome is a rare congenital alteration of the thoracic region, mainly characterized by the partial or complete absence of the pectoralis major muscle. It has one higher incidence in males, with a predominance of the right side of the chest. Several factors have been associated as possible causes, but currently a main ethology has not been found. Methods: We report the case of a 32-year-old male patient, who presents an almost total absence of the pectoralis major on the right side, preserving only the portion upper distal of the muscle. Through the use of a mold that is adapted to the region of the defect, we obtained a prosthesis customized with exact measurements of the desired area, which was placed the day of surgery. Results: With the use of this customized prosthesis, we achieve adequate correction of the defect, obtaining the desired symmetry of the thoracic region and a rapid recovery of the patient, without any complications during surgery. Conclusion: Using this approach best results are obtained, with less morbidity for the patient, fewer adverse effects and a more rapid recovery, making it an excellent choice in the treatment of sequelae of Poland syndrome.
