We report mother and son with the ulnar-mammary syndrome type Pallister: both had postaxial polydactyly in one upper limb and absence or hypoplasia of the axillary apocrine glands bilaterally. The mother had total lack of the mammary gland tissue and absence of one kidney. Her son also had unilateral oligodactyly, an absent ulna and hypoplasia of the ipsilateral shoulder girdle.
