Penile duplication

M D Melekos et al. Urology. 1986 Mar.

Abstract

We report on a case of penile duplication in an eight-year-old boy. While diphallia was incomplete, there was a common root of the penis which divided into two shafts of different size, doubling in frontal plane. Only one urethra left the bladder along the lower and smaller penile shaft and ended with a hypospadiac meatus. After surgical plastic repair, the patient had a good functional and cosmetic result. In addition, this patient had a horseshoe kidney.
