ABSTRACT
A 56-year-old female patient with left breast cancer presented at our hospital. Preoperative CT scan showed an isolated bilateral pectoralis major muscle defect and abnormal muscle originating from the entire sternum and inserting in the lower ribs and rectus sheath. Total mastectomy and axillary lymph node dissection were performed. We believe that this case is unique and that others like it have never been reported. If there is a defect in the pectoralis major muscle, reconstructive surgery with a tissue expander is contraindicated. Therefore, preoperative evaluation of the chest wall musculature on imaging is recommended.
