A 12 year old boy was admitted in the medical ward, Prathima Institute of Medical Sciences hospital, Karimnagar, with severe dyspnoea of one week duration. During the clinical examination, besides the auscultatory findings, it was observed that the boy was a typical case of Poland's anomaly, characterized by deficiency of the sterno-costal part of Pectoralis major and entire pectoralis minor, minor associated with hypoplastic, thenar and hypothenar muscles. Considering the rarity involved in finding such a sporadic, congenital but non fatal medical condition, knowledge of musculoskeletal anomalies is important for clinicians, orthopedics and plastic surgeons.Keywords: Poland's anomaly; deficiency; musculoskeletal anomalies.
