Popis: We report a sporadic case of complete diphallus with multiple other anomalies in a premature newborn. Chromosomal analysis at the 500 band level showed an apparently balanced reciprocal translocation 46,XY, t(1;14)(p36.3;q24.3). The mother has a normal karyotype, but the father was not available for chromosomal analysis. The significance of this balanced chromosomal rearrangement and the possibility that the chromosomal breakpoints contribute to deregulation of mesodermal development is discussed.
