Diphallia is an uncommon deformity, with glans duplication being its rarest form. We discuss here a case of a 6-year-old boy who presented due to excess prepuce malformation that, on examination, revealed a "penile nodule" that proved to be glans duplication. Our patient had only one urethra present and no congenital anomalies. Surgical uneventful penile reconstruction involving radiofrequency ablation (RFA) resolved the issue.

Case Presentation: Despite the normal appearance of external genitalia on examination, the dissection of a 78-year-old white male revealed a remarkable anatomical variation: two small supernumerary penises stacked in a sagittal orientation posteroinferiorly to the primary penis.

Background: CNV in has been identified to influence androgen receptor function via its changes in gene dosage, which might contribute to hypospadias. However, there is lack of population-level evidence to assess the contribution of CNV to hypospadias.
Methods: 349 isolated hypospadias patients were recruited and their genotyping was performed using real-time qPCR.

Diphallia (penile duplication) is a rare congenital malformation with an incidence of about 1 per 5-6 million newborns. The severity of diphallia varies from a small accessory penile-like tissue to complete true penile duplication with other deformities, usually involving the urogenital, gastrointestinal, and musculoskeletal systems. Pseudodiphallia, as a rare kind of diphallia, is characterized by a small accessory penile-like tissue without a normal penile anatomy structure.
