Rare Case of Triphallia Discovered in 78-Year-Old Man

Medical students uncover a second-ever documented case of three penises during a cadaver dissection.

  • The condition, known as triphallia, was discovered during a dissection at the University of Birmingham Medical School.
  • Only one of the man's three penises was externally visible, with the others hidden inside the scrotum.
  • Triphallia is an extremely rare congenital anomaly, with the first known case documented in a newborn in 2020.
  • Researchers suggest the man's hidden penises may have contributed to undiagnosed medical issues during his life.
  • The discovery highlights the potential for more undiagnosed cases of polyphallia due to their concealed nature.
