Journal Title: Pediatric Urology Case Reports - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Aphallia (penile agenesis) is an extremely rare abnormality with the reported incidence of 1 in 30 million births. The cause of this anomaly is associated with no genital tubercle formation or its development impairment. The majority of patients have 46XY Karyotype. The scrotum, testes and testicular function are usually normal. We report the preliminary experience with 3 cases of aphallia in different age groups along with a review of the literature.
