description Pectoralis major rupture was historically a rare occurrence, but the incidence is increasing. Most cases occur from indirect trauma in active men aged 20 to 40 years, especially during bench press.

We report the first case of pectoralis major rupture in a young, active woman who underwent successful surgical fixation.
