Their covering of skin was
common as far as the base of the glans; at this point they seemed
distinct and perfect, but the meatus of the left was imperforate.
The right meatus was normal, and through it most of the urine
passed, though some always dribbled through an opening in the
perineum at a point where the root of the scrotum should have
been. On lifting the double-barreled penis this opening could be
seen and was of sufficient size to admit the finger. On the right
side of the aperture was an elongated and rounded prominence
similar in outline to a labium majus. This prominence contained a
testicle normal in shape and sensibility, but slightly
undersized, and surrounded, as was evident from its mobility, by
a tunica vaginalis. The left testicle lay on the tendon of the
adductor longus in the left groin; it was not fully developed,
but the patient had sexual desires, erections, and emissions.
Both penises became erect simultaneously, the right more
vigorously. The left leg was shorter than the right and
congenitally smaller; the mammae were of normal dimensions.
Sangalli speaks of a man of thirty-five who had a supernumerary
penis, furnished with a prepuce and capable of erection.
