Abstract
Abstract: Pheochromocytoma is rarely observed during pregnancy. The diagnosis is often overlooked for the more common pre-eclampsia. Maternal prognosis depends on early diagnosis and multidisciplinary management prior to tumor resection. The literature is replete with mistakes in diagnosing and managing this disease. We report 3 cases of pheochromocytoma during pregnancy each with varied presentation, management, and culmination.
