| pubmed-article:2745045 | pubmed:abstractText | A case of pheochromocytoma observed in a 31-year old woman at the sixth month of pregnancy is reported. The treatment was successful for both the mother and fetus. Oral phenoxybenzamine has allowed most favourable pressure control and completion of pregnancy at term with cesarean section and tumor resection performed at the same time. The prognostic role of early diagnosis is stressed and the therapeutic problems posed by this rare association at high maternal and fetal risk, are discussed. | lld:pubmed |
