  Introduction: Poland Syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly characterized mainly by hypoplasia or agenesis of the unilateral thoracic musculature and changes in the ipsilateral upper limb.  Goals: This case refers to a female patient with Poland Syndrome, in an oncology hospital in the city of Manaus-AM-Brazil. Methods: The patient in the case reported presented breast asymmetry on physical examination and the study shows the correlation of imaging findings from digital mammography, radiography and computed tomography of the chest of this condition. Conclusion: The importance of recognizing this condition by the radiologist is to differentiate this benign anomaly from conditions such as unilateral hypertransparency on chest X-ray and breast asymmetry on mammography related to other causes.
