ABSTRACT
Clitoral malformations have been a taboo for the literature until just a few years ago. The latest specific classic and online literature does not address this issue in all its dimensions so it is necessary that the medical community dedicated to assisting informs any finding that can enhance that knowledge. This communication informs how, through the clinical method (observation), an anomaly of this structure was found in an infant who was admitted to the Pediatric Service of the General Teaching Hospital of Placetas, Villa Clara.
