[An example of diphallia in children].
Diphallus is a rare malformation with an estimated frequency of one case per five million births. The authors report a case of incomplete diphallus associated with glanular hypospadias in a 2-month-old. There are various more or less severe anatomical and clinical forms of this urogenital abnormality. The therapeutic management is very variable, ranging from simple resection of the supernumerary penis, as in our case, to complex reconstruction when the anomaly is associated with severe malformations (oesophageal atresia, anorectal malformation, spinal malformation).
