Rhinosporidiosis presenting as urethral polyp.
Rhinosporidiosis is a very common disease endemic in India, Ceylon, East Africa and part of America. Extremely rare in Europe. Nose, naso-pharynx, nasal sinuses, larynx are the common sites of affection, but urethral lesion is very rare. Reports from India so far as our knowledge goes are not available. Symmers may be the only case report available so far. For the rarity of site of affection, the case is reported.
