Aplasia of pectoralis major muscle and renal anomalies
American Journal of Medical Genetics, 1989AbstractWe 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.

Total Rupture of Pectoralis Major Muscle in Athletes
International Journal of Sports Medicine, 1984Total 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, 1986From 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.

Encapsulated thymoma metastasizing to a pectoralis major muscle
The Japanese Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2002An 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.

Pectoralis major muscle defect and Poland complex
American Journal of Medical Genetics, 1979AbstractPectoralis 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.

Partial Rupture of the Pectoralis Major Muscle in Athletes
International Journal of Sports Medicine, 1990Partial rupture of the pectoralis major muscle is quite a rare event in sports traumatology and information about its treatment is lacking in literature. In this paper the long term effect of conservative non-surgical treatment in two body-builders and one shot-putter is discussed, who reported the partial rupture while performing bench lifts with ...

Bilateral asymmetric deficiency of the pectoralis major muscle
Clinical Anatomy, 2003AbstractWe observed a rare, bilateral congenital deficiency of the pectoralis major muscle in a 72‐year‐old female cadaver in our gross anatomy dissection laboratory. The outward appearance of the anterior thoracic wall, which included well‐developed breasts, revealed no obvious abnormalities.

Rupture of Pectoralis Major Muscle
The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1970Surgical repair of the ruptured pectoralis major muscle is important to restore complete function and contour, especially in young athletes, although loss of strength is not complete in conservative treatment. We have presented a case of rupture of the pectoralis major muscle in a thirty-one-year-old dentist who regained complete function and contour ...
