Abstract
Rupture of the pectoralis major (PM) tendon is an uncommon injury that is most frequently observed in young men between the ages of 20 and 40 years.3 The incidence of PM tendon rupture has risen significantly in the past decade and has been attributed to the increasing popularity of both weight lifting for fitness and anabolic steroids use.3 Clinical manifestations of PM tendon rupture include pain, ecchymosis, asymmetry of the anterior axillary fold, and shortening deformity of the retracted muscle.
