Aphallia is a very rare congenital anomaly of urogenital tractus, it's rarely described, only hundred cases are reported in world literature. We report a case of A.B 2 months old who presents an aphallia in male with well developed testicles, the urethral meatus is opening to the anterior wall of the anal sphincter, ultrasound examination showed the absence of the penis and the corpora cavernosa, confirmed by the magnetic imaging. The radiological explorations of digestive tract, urinary tract and the cardiac ultrasound were without abnormalities, chromosome karyotype confirmed 46 XY. The kidney function was normal, the assessment of hormonal status normal. No abnormalities in the biological assessment are reported except an hypochromic microcytic anaemia.
