A rare medical condition characterized by the doubling or duplication of body structures or organs.
From Greek 'diplos' (double) and 'plasis' (formation), combined with the medical suffix '-ismus' indicating a pathological condition or disease state.
This word represents one of medicine's most mysterious birth conditions—when a developing embryo tries to create two of something instead of one, sometimes resulting in conjoined twins or duplicated internal organs.
