Diphallia is an extremely rare congenital anomaly. Bifid phallus is a type of diphallia and is rarely recorded in published studies. According to the degree of separation of the penises at the base of the shaft or just at the glans, bifid phallus is further classified into complete or partial forms. Bifid phallus is often associated with hypospadias or part of the exstrophy–epispadias complex. We are really lucky to have successfully treated a 2-year-old patient with penoscrotal hypospadias combined with partial bifid phallus in the shaft. After the surgery, the patient had no issues with penile function.
