    Background:

    • Myiasis is a parasitic infestation of mammals by fly larvae.
    • Urethral myiasis, specifically, is exceptionally rare in medical literature.
    • Understanding rare parasitic infections is crucial for public health.

    Observation:

    • A unique case of urethral myiasis is presented.
    • The patient presented with symptoms indicative of a rare parasitic infestation.
    • Detailed clinical observations were recorded.

    Findings:

    • The study reports the first documented case of urethral myiasis.
    • Confirmation of fly larvae within the human urethra.
    • Analysis of the specific type of myiasis and causative agent.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering rare parasitic infections in differential diagnoses.
    • May prompt further research into the epidemiology and treatment of urethral myiasis.
    • Contributes to the global knowledge base on neglected tropical diseases and zoonotic infections.
