Child Born with Second Penis in the Middle of His Back
Fetus in Fetu (FIF) is a rare and very mysterious medical condition that is said to have occurred (or at least is recorded to have occurred) less than ninety times throughout medical history.
For the little boy born in Tianjin’s Children Hospital in China, the second penis in the middle of his tiny back is a medical first and even weirder than some other instances of this highly unusual phenomenon.
The baby presented no problems when it came into the world with the help of midwives on May 27, 2008, at the Hejian Maternity Center, which is part of Tianjin Children’s Hospital.
What seemed like a routine birth, however, soon turned into a story from Ripley’s Believe it or Not, as midwives and medical staff could not have been more surprised to see a little boy endowed with a second penis in the middle of his back.
Born to farmer dad, Li Jun, 30, and his wife, who live in Central China’s Henan Province, the extra penis was safely removed.
There are complicated theories about this condition that relate to the abnormal formation of twins in utero (parasitic twin theory), but this manifestation is just too weird for any of the medical books.
For now, doctors are content to say that after three hours of surgery, the extra penis is gone and the little boy is doing fine.

Why’d they take his second penis? It was supposed to be a gift.

He would have to pee twice heh, although im not sure how he would be able to take care of his back. On the other hand while he’s on top of a woman, another one can be riding his back… the possibilities of a second penis.

In a small superstitious town that could be seen as a good omen. Really quite weird, wonder if both were functional, imagine the one on his back was the functional one.

This kid could have had an extremely profitable porn career, now he’s relegated to giving bicycle tours of the Forbidden City

Wow thats crazy… At least they dont name the child in the story. That could lead to some pretty embarrassing comments in elementary school…

I wonder if his parents will ever tell him about this .. I wouldn't. It could definitely scar him for life!
