Yes, a syncytia is a cell with more than one nucleus. They are found in humans in the case of sicknesses like RSV, HIV, etc.

Mitosis is NOT two nuclei - the nuclear envelope disappears during mitosis so the DNA is no longer in a nucleus.

Some cells in the human body normally have more than one nucleus but this is rare: liver cells, urinary system cells, parietal cells (of the stomach), chondrocytes, and heart muscle cells can have more than one nucleus.

Some organisms, such as fungi or protists (paramecium, for example), regularly have more than one nuclei under normal circumstances.
