Abdominal ultrasound shows a mass at the cystourethral junction extending into the urethra, irregular urethral wall thickening, bilateral multicystic ovaries, normal uterine body (small) with a prominent right uterine horn (may be normal for intact female).
My primary rule out for the bladder mass and urethral mass/wall thickening is TCC. Other rule outs for the cysto-urethral mass includes benign polyp, chronic cystistis, urethritis.
I am wondering if functional cystic or neoplastic ovaries could cause these changes at the cystourethral junction and proximal urethra? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks Eric. That was my initial thought, but I did not want to assume the worst if there was an alternative explanation. I have scanned guinea pigs that presented with urinary tract signs and functional cystic ovaries and wanted to make sure I was not missing something.

Would not completely right off the ovarian cysts as there are a few case reports in the human litertaure that describe TCC of the bladder associated with polycystic ovarian syndrome.
