    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Congenital Anomalies

    Background:

    • Penile duplication, or diphallia, is a rare congenital anomaly with varying degrees of severity.
    • Understanding the anatomical variations and associated urogenital abnormalities is crucial for effective management.

    Observation:

    • A case of incomplete penile duplication (diphallia) in an eight-year-old boy is presented.
    • The condition involved two penile shafts of different sizes arising from a common root, with a single urethra exiting from the smaller, lower shaft.
    • The patient also had a horseshoe kidney, a frequently associated renal anomaly.

    Findings:

    • Surgical plastic repair of the penile duplication resulted in a satisfactory functional and cosmetic outcome for the patient.
    • The successful management highlights the importance of timely surgical intervention for congenital penile abnormalities.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the variability of diphallia and the need for individualized surgical approaches.
    • The co-occurrence of penile duplication and horseshoe kidney emphasizes the importance of comprehensive evaluation in patients with congenital urogenital malformations.
    • Successful surgical correction can significantly improve quality of life for affected children.
