Aphallia:A Rare Congenital Anomaly.

ABSTRACT

Aphallia or absence of penis is a very rare congenital anomaly. Clinical presentation is diagnostic, but immediate and long term management poses great dilemma. The issue like gender reassignment needs parental counseling. Due to social reasons parents have difficulty in giving consent for the classical management of gender reassignment. However with better penile reconstruction techniques, now there is hope for such parents who want to bring up their child as a boy.We present such a rare case with associated dilemmas.
