| Abstract | ||||
| Background Diphallus (duplication of phallus) is rarely encountered in surgical practice with only 100 cases reported in literature. Some cases may be isolated but mostly associated with other anomalies, without clear data about its etiology. Case presentation We reported a 1-day-old newborn baby who was presented with complete duplication of the phallus, one of them being hypospadic associated with a high type imperforate anus, omphalocele, congenital pouch colon, sacral meningocele, and other congenital anomalies not reported before in such combinations. Conclusion A combination of diphallia and other abnormalities in our patient are not reported previously in such manner and were very difficult to be corrected. | ||||
