You recall it wrongly.
Actually - in the early 20s Poland took territory, that both nations considered as belonging to them (around Vilnius).
Because of that - relation between both countries during the intrebellum period were tense. The had no diplomatic relations.
In 1938 Poland issued an ultimatum - demanding, that Lithuania agrees to establish diplomatic relations with Warsaw. The establishment of diplomatic relations meant a de facto renunciation of Lithuanian claims to the region containing Vilnius.
So - Poland did not take any part of Lithuania in 1938.
