Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine

CHAPTER V
86/135

Jenisch describes a diphallic infant, the offspring of a woman of twenty-five who had been married five years.

Her first child was a well-formed female, and the second, the infant in question, cried much during the night, and several times vomited dark-green matter.

In lieu of one penis there were two, situated near each other, the right one of natural size and the left larger, but not furnished with a prepuce.

Each penis had its own urethra, from which dribbled urine and some meconium.

There was a duplication of each scrotum, but only one testicle in each, and several other minor malformations.
Gore, reported by Velpeau, has seen an infant of eight and one-half months with two penises and three lower extremities.
