Penile Agenesis And Testicular Agenesis
Penile agenesis is a birth defect in humans, occurring about once in 5–6 million male births, in which a male child is born without a penis. A partner condition is testicular or gonadal agenesis. This is when a male child is born without gonads and consequently develops no testes. Penile agenesis occurs often as a consequence of Testicular agenesis, but the reverse is never the case. Most patients in both cases have no known family history, and those who have an otherwise normal male anatomy.

Famous quotes containing the word testicular:
“... the Ovarian Theory of Literature, or, rather, its complement, the Testicular Theory. A recent camp follower ... of this explicit theory is ... Norman Mailer, who has attributed his own gift, and the literary gift in general, solely and directly to the possession of a specific pair of organs. One writes with these organs, Mailer has said ... and I have always wondered with what shade of ink he manages to do it.”
—Cynthia Ozick (b. 1928)
