Abstract
Duplication of the hypophysis and parts of the upper and lower jaws of a 38-week male infant are described. Considerable masses of adeno-hypophyseal tissue were found in the roof of the mouth in positions corresponding to the stem regions of 2 Rathke''s pouches. An embryological explanation of the abnormality is offered.Keywords
