Abstract:
Diphallia is an uncommon deformity, with glans duplication being its rarest form. We discuss here a case of a 6-year-old boy who presented due to excess prepuce malformation that, on examination, revealed a "penile nodule" that proved to be glans duplication. Our patient had only one urethra present and no congenital anomalies. Surgical uneventful penile reconstruction involving radiofrequency ablation (RFA) resolved the issue.
