Imaging revealed bilateral ovarian masses and a left duplex collecting system with a dilated upper-pole ureter inserting ectopically into the posterior urethra. Serum tumor markers including CA125 were within normal limits. No ascites or peritoneal deposits were identified. Laparoscopic bilateral tumor excision preserved normal ovarian tissue; histopathology confirmed ovarian fibromas with low proliferative index. Three months later, laparoscopic excision of the ectopic distal ureteral segment and ipsilateral ureteroureterostomy completely resolved urinary symptoms. Trio whole-exome sequencing identified heterozygous variants in\n                      <jats:italic>SUFU<\/jats:italic>\n                      (p.Asp182Asn) and\n                      <jats:italic>FN1<\/jats:italic>\n                      (p.Asn649Ile), both inherited from unaffected parents.
