Abstract
A white male infant was born with dextrocardia and a depressed area on the left anterior chest wall. The depressed area moved paradoxically with respiration, and was covered by abraded skin. The left arm, when flexed, fit into this depression. It is hypothesized that this represents a new deformation sequence.
