Zusammenfassung:Diphallia is an exceedingly rare anomaly characterized by partial or complete duplication of the phallus. Approximately 100 cases have been reported worldwide since its initial documentation, and incidence is estimated at 1 in 5 to 6 million live births. Therapeutic management is dependent on the extent of the anomaly, ranging from phallic excision to complex reconstructive procedures in cases of broader systemic involvement. We present the case of congenital true diphallia with associated penoscrotal transposition, bifid scrotum, partial urethral duplication, ventral chordee, large scrotal lipoma and sacral dimple. We further present a review of available literature pertaining to diphallia.
