A member asked:
Is it abnormal to have no pectoralis on the left side of the chest? what can be done?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sounds like: Poland's syndrome, congenital absence of pectoralis major muscle. It is generally a cosmetic problem more than a functional one. Plastic surgeon can fix it for you.
