Urogenital Myiasis is rarely documented in developed countries, so epidemiological data are limited and often associated with travel to endemic regions. We report a Case of urogenital myiasis, unassociated with travel, in a 31 year old male. The patient presented to the emergency department after passing a larval fly during micturition. Pathologic examination of the initial urine sample confirmed the presence of living fly larvae and further evaluation was arranged with the urology department. The patient had no further episodes, and resolution was confirmed via urinalysis and cystoscopy. Several common risk factors were identified, including poor sanitation and hygiene.
