Abstract EN
Diphallia or penile duplication is a rare congenital variant with an estimated frequency of 1 per 5 to 6 million live births.
The extent of duplication varies widely and typically occurs with other malformations including urogenital, gastrointestinal, and musculoskeletal anomalies.
Here we present a case of human diphallia that was detected during routine dissection of an 84-year-old cadaver.
Upon thorough examination, this case was characterized as a complete bifid penis which was accompanied by hypospadias with no other anatomical abnormalities detected.
To gain insights into the etiology of this case, we analyzed DNA procured from the body for putative genetic variants using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology.
Our results support clinical observations consistent with human diphallia being a polygenic syndrome and identify new genetic variants that might underlie its etiology.
