Aposthia is a rare congenital condition in humans in which the foreskin of the penis is missing. It is a rare congenital disorder affecting the male genitalia, present from birth, with complete absence of the foreskin as its key characteristic. Historically, some observers mistakenly attributed reported cases to inherited traits, though modern understanding recognizes such reports likely involved a different condition, hypospadias, rather than true aposthia.
