Abstract |
Diphallia and double scrota are rare congenital anomalies. This report
records, for the first time, the gross pathological findings of a rare
case of diphallia and double scrota
in a two-year-old donkey. On physical
examination of the donkey, double peni, double prepuces, double scrota
and two testes were observed. The two peni were directed opposite to
each other at the caudal ventral midline. The posterior penis was the
functional one and appeared normal in structure. This penis had ventral
deviation and was displaced caudally to the posterior scrotum and
testes. The testes were atrophied, asymmetrical and located anterior to
the posterior penis in a transverse plan. The anterior penis was not
functional, rudimentary, replaced by a fibrous band, fixed to the
prepuce and had normal cranial direction. The anterior prepuce was well
developed with preputial orifice. The anterior scrotum was rudimentary,
empty and located posterior to the anterior penis. Two rudimentary teats
were also seen between anterior prepuce and scrotum.
