Abstract
Rhinosporidiosis is a chronic granulomatous disease caused by a fungus, Rhinisporidium seeberi, a member of a group of novel aquatic parasites.

Here we report a case of urethral rhinosporidiosis, presenting as a protruding, polypoidal mass from the urethral orifice along with urethral fistula which after failure of medical treatment needs surgical unusual treatment option
