Abstract
Aphallia, congenital absent of penis, is a rare, urogenital malformation of the external genitalia in a genetically male child (karotypically XY). Even though the exact cause is unknown but it is may be due to an awry in development of external genitalia a child. Incidence of aphallia is 1 in 30 million live births.
