Pheochromocytoma disguised as gestational hypertensive disease during pregnancy: A case report

Abstract

Abstract Pheochromocytoma is often diagnosed prior to pregnancy. Sometimes, the disease may be diagnosed for the first‐time during pregnancy masking itself as a hypertensive disease in pregnancy. Early diagnosis and timely, appropriate management reduce possible maternal and fetal complications. We identified a case of pheochromocytoma during pregnancy misdiagnosed as preeclampsia.
