چکیده
Rhinosporidiosis, first described by Gulleimaro Seeberi from Buenos Aires in 1900 [1], is a rare chronic granulomatous condition usually affecting the anterior nares, caused by a fungus Rhinosporidiosisseeberi [1,2]. Ashworth in 1923 described the lifecycle of this fungus and established the name [1]. Though it is globally distributed but 90% cases are from Asia mainly from South India, Srilanka, Pakistan and less than 5% case are from Africa & western countries [3]. The nasopharynx and nose (nasal mucosa) commonly (70%) affected in this disease but conjunctiva, lachrymal sac, lip, palate, skin, larynx, trachea, bronchi, vagina and vulva are the other sites which may be affected [2-4]. Urethra may be involved but it is very rare, only few cases reported in literature till date and they are mostly from India [3-5]. Here we report a case of urethral rhinosporidiosis protruding from external urethral meatus during voiding.
