Urethral haemangiomas are rare and usually involve the entire urethra or are localized to the anterior urethra. Posterior urethral polyps are uncommon. A posterior urethral polyp was removed from a 3-year-old boy which proved to be haemangioma. In the histological classification of posterior urethral polyps, haemangioma should therefore be included.
