A phyllic disphenoid is a type of tetrahedron with two pairs of identical scalene triangles as faces. They commonly appear as cells in various step prisms along with some other isogonal polychora.

In vertex figures[edit | edit source]

Phyllic disphenoids appear as vertex figures in a total of 6 uniform polychora, which are omnitruncates with a doubled symmetry. These include the great prismatodecachoron, great prismatotetracontoctachoron, great quasiprismatotetracontoctachron, distetracontoctachoron, tetracontoctirhombated tetracontoctachoron, and tetracontoctiquasirhombated tetracontoctachoron.
