Abstract

Poland anomaly and facio-auriculo-vertebral dysplasia are considered to be separate entities. We describe a 3-year-old boy with features of both Poland anomaly and facio-auriculo-vertebral dysplasia. This is the first report, to our knowledge, of this combination of birth defects. Possible pathogenetic implications are discussed.
