Diphallia or duplication of penis is extremely rare condition with a reported incidence of 1 in 5-6 million live births. Approximately around 100 cases of diphallia have been described in literature, each case have a unique presentation from associated anomalies. Clinically these patients can be classified into complete (true diphallia) or partial duplication. In true diphallia, each penis has 2 corpora cavernosa and 1 corpus spongiosum. If the duplicate penis is smaller or rudimentary with complete structure, it is described as true partial diphallia. The term bifid phallus is used if there is only one corpus cavernosum in each penis. Due to low incidence and varied presentation, not much is known about the underlying pathophysiology, management options, and outcomes. Here, we report a case of partial diphallia with associated penoscrotal transposition of 2 hemi-scrotums.
阴茎重复畸形极为罕见,据报道活产婴儿中的发病率为五到六百万分之一。文献中已描述了约100例阴茎重复畸形病例,每个病例都有与相关异常相关的独特表现。临床上,这些患者可分为完全性(真性阴茎重复畸形)或部分重复。在真性阴茎重复畸形中,每个阴茎都有2个海绵体和1个尿道海绵体。如果重复的阴茎较小或结构完整但发育不全,则称为真性部分阴茎重复畸形。如果每个阴茎只有一个海绵体,则使用阴茎分裂一词。由于发病率低且表现多样,对其潜在的病理生理学、治疗选择和结果了解不多。在此,我们报告一例伴有两个半阴囊阴茎阴囊转位的部分阴茎重复畸形病例。
