“To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case with three penises or triphallia as no similar case is present in literature in human beings,” the study—to which Dr.
Shakir Saleem Jabali contributed —states.
Here’s more from the Daily Mail:
The boy’s parents initially took him into hospital because of swelling in his scrotum, but when he arrived doctors noticed the boy had two extra penises.
One measured 2cm and was located at the root of his main penis, while the other was 1cm long and positioned below his scrotum.
Doctors said one out of five to six million boys is born with diphallia, two penises, but the Iraqi baby boy is the first case of a human born with three penises known as triphallia.
