Presentation in pregnancy can mimic gestational hypertension or pre-eclampsia. Physicians need to keep a high index of suspicion to have timely diagnosis and management of pheochromocytoma during pregnancy. We report a 27-year-old female who was diagnosed with pheochromocytoma at 18 weeks of gestation and she underwent laparoscopic adrenalectomy at 22 weeks of gestation with a good pregnancy outcome and with no recurrence over 8 years of follow-up.EnglishPregnancy, Pheochromocytoma, Hypertension, Catecholamines.https://yemenjmed.com/admin/abstract?id=12References16191.Yulia A, Seetho IW, Ramineni A, et al.
