Retromammary Tumours of the Pectoralis Major Muscle

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery, 1973
Attention is drawn to the occurrence of a variety of tumours in the pectoralis major muscle or its deep fascial sheath. When these tumours lie deep to the female breast, difficulties in diagnosis and management occur. Their incidence in a large personal series is given, and the incidence in the case histories of the Soft Tissue Registry is also quoted.

Innervation of the Pectoralis Major Muscle

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 2012
Owing to the diverse application of the pectoralis major muscle (Pmaj) in reconstructive surgery, with special reference to its safe and functional transfer, a precise knowledge of its nerve supply becomes mandatory. The aim of the present study was to investigate its innervations.A total of 30 specimens of pectoral regions pertaining to 15 embalmed ...

Pectoralis Major Muscle Injuries: Evaluation and Management

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2005
Pectoralis major muscle tears are relatively rare injuries that primarily occur while lifting weights, particularly when doing a bench press. Complete ruptures are most commonly avulsions at or near the humeral insertion. Ruptures at the musculo-tendinous junction and intramuscular tears usually are caused by a direct blow.

Aplasia of pectoralis major muscle and renal anomalies

American Journal of Medical Genetics, 1989
AbstractWe describe two patients with aplasia of the pectoralis major muscle and renal anomalies. We think such an association, which has been reported previously, represents a new congenital malformation, probably not a syndrome but an acro‐pectoro‐renal field defect.

Encapsulated thymoma metastasizing to a pectoralis major muscle

The Japanese Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2002
An extensive review of the literature suggests that ours is the first case of encapsulated thymoma metastasizing to a skeletal muscle. A 43-year-old man underwent thymothymectomy for encapsulated Masaoka's stage I thymoma. Four years after complete resection, the tumor metastasized to the left pectoralis major muscle.

Total Rupture of Pectoralis Major Muscle in Athletes

International Journal of Sports Medicine, 1984
Total rupture of the pectoralis major muscle is rare. It may follow a severe trauma or strenuous athletic exercise or performance. Five cases of total rupture of the pectoralis major muscle treated in athletes are reported. Two of them had made an extremely exerted effort in weight lifting, one was injured during a parachute landing, one was tackled in

THE PECTORALIS MAJOR MUSCLE IN HEAD AND NECK RECONSTRUCTION

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Surgery, 1986
From June 1980 to June 1985 51 pectoralis major muscle flaps have been used for one‐stage reconstruction of extensive defects in the head and neck following cancer surgery. The pectoralis major muscle was used as a myocutaneous flap on 28 occasions, as a muscle covered with split thickness skin on 17 occasions, and as a muscle‐only flap six times.

Pectoralis major muscle defect and Poland complex

American Journal of Medical Genetics, 1979
AbstractPectoralis major muscle defect (PMD) was diagnosed in 27 infants from a series of 599, 109 live births in South America (1/22,189). In all 27 cases the PMD was unilateral, mainly affecting the right side (20/27), and there were more male (19/27) than female cases. No familial cases and no parental consanguinity were recorded.
