Urethral polyps occur as polypoidal masses of urethra. These lesions predominantly present as solitary lesions rather than multifocal growths. These constitute approximately 1% of all benign urogenital neoplasms making them a rare entity. A male neonate presented at birth with a prolapsing urethral mass through a proximal penile hypospadiac meatus. After thorough evaluation for other associated anomalies patient underwent excision of the mass. Histopathology revealed a fibroepithelial polyp. Urethral polyp is a rare anomaly of the urethra. Surgical management is tailored to the specific nature and location of the polyp and the patient's general condition. Surgical excision should be undertaken with utmost care of local tissues.
