Abstract
Diphallus is a rare congenital anomaly that is often associated with various other anomalies of the midline structures of the posterior portion of the body. We report a unique case of a 1-day-old male with complete diphallus, incomplete bilateral tubular duplications of the colon, ileal atresia, and an anorectal malformation.
