Caudal duplication is more common in sheep and pigs while cranial duplications seem to be predominant in cattle.

Complete dipygus is a very rare congenital malformation involving complete lumbosacral duplication with two pelves and four lower limbs [1]. Several incomplete forms have been reported. Pygomelia is an incomplete form in which two of the lower limbs fusion (symmelia) form a single supernumerary middle limb inserting into the pelvis [2—5]. Pygomelia has often been described as caudal or lumbosac...
