BACKGROUND: Aphallia (absent penis) is an extremely rare congenital anomaly happening in 1 in 30 million births worldwide. It can occur alone or in combination with other congenital anomalies.
CASE PRESENTATION: A two-day-old neonate presented to Arba Minch General Hospital with an absent penis. The delivery was performed at home by a 34-year-old primigravida mother with no antenatal follow-up. As the mother described, the baby cried immediately after birth. The baby was sucking initially but failed to suck hours after delivery. The neonate died of neonatal distress syndrome after two hours of resuscitation.
CONCLUSION: Aphallia is a complex, extremely rare congenital anomaly that is commonly associated with other congenital anomalies. Sometimes, it may be associated with a lethal anomaly and requires sophisticated workup to diagnose and treat grave anomalies early.
