Pyloric stenosis has been reported in nonidentical male triplets in the past. This is the first report of pyloric stenosis occurring in identical male triplets in a family with no previous history of pyloric stenosis. The appearance of this disease in both identical and nonidentical triplets supports the view that pyloric stenosis is the result of a single main dominant gene and a multifactorial background working together.
