Abstract
Diphallia is a rare anomaly, defined by a total or partial duplication of the male genitalia. This abnormality is rarely isolated, and fits most often in a table of varied malformation, determining management and prognosis. There are different forms Clinical and anatomical of this condition, which explains the variety and complexity of classifications suggested until now. However, the diagnosis is clinical, and paraclinical aims were used to determine the type of diphallia and detect any malformations. The therapeutic management is very variable: from the simple removal of supernumerary penis as in our case, to a complex reconstruction when associated with severe malformations. In our thesis, we reported a new case of isolated diphallia, and we have reviewed literature, from which the new epidemiological data have been established, we also reported the different etiopathogenic theories and pathological classifications, whose have been developed so far. Finally, we outlined the diagnosis and treatment management of this malformation.
