Anomalies of the Breast
Congenital breast asymmetry may be a manifestation of underlying congenital anomalies. Poland's syndrome, the most frequent congenital cause of breast asymmetry, is a syndrome of thoracic structure deformities, breast asymmetry, and ipsilateral syndactyly.
Treatment of breast asymmetry due to Poland's syndrome may include prosthetic augmentation, use of a musculocutaneous flap to fill hollow space on the exterior of the chest, or augmentation with tissue from the opposite breast. Definitive treatment includes surgical repair of the chest wall.
