Sir Alfred Poland: In 1841, published a detailed report titled “Deficiency of the Pectoral Muscles” based on a cadaver dissection, which accurately described the chest wall abnormalities associated with the syndrome. Lallemand was the first to report a case in 1826, but it was Poland's more complete description that led to the syndrome being named after him.
