BACKGROUND: Pheochromocytoma (PHEO) in pregnancy is a rare disease, and the management of this situation is not well established. The misdiagnosis of the disease often leads to adverse outcomes for both mothers and infants. CASE REPORT: Here, we describe a case of a pregnant woman at 25 weeks' gestation presenting with headache, chest tightness, and shortness of breath, which was found to have a left adrenal mass and hypertensive urgency and diagnosed pregnancy with PHEO in our hospital. The timely diagnosis and proper treatment came with an optimal maternal and fetal outcome. CONCLUSIONS: The case of pheochromocytoma in pregnancy we report demonstrated that early diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach ensured a favorable prognosis for both maternal and fetal, and we also addressed the importance of individual basis evaluation during the whole journey.
