A crossbred (Sindhi × local indigenous) calf that was 12
days old was admitted to the Teaching Veterinary Hospital,
Chittagong Government Veterinary College, Bangladesh,
with two accessory hind limbs attached to the pelvic
region in between the hind legs. This was clinically identified
as a congenital anomaly popularly called pygomelia. The
pygomelia was successfully corrected by surgical excisions.
