Abstract
Aphallia is known to be a very rare congenital malformation, with an occurrence of 1 in every 30 million births; only 75 cases have been reported in the literature till recently (Hendren WH. J Urol 1997; 157: 1469-1474). Gender reassingnment is recommended for the affected newborns in infancy (Elder JS. In: Walsh PC, Retik AB, eds. Campbell's Urology. Philadelphia: Saunders: 12343-12344). We herewith report a patient of aphallia who presented at the age of 16 years and was treated with phallus reconstruction and urethral reconstruction.Entities:
