  • Title: MEA III presenting as pheochromocytoma and complicating pregnancy and the puerperium. A case report.
    Author: Epstein H, Morehouse M, Cowles T, King CR.
    Journal: J Reprod Med; 1985 Jun; 30(6):501-4. PubMed ID: 2862283.
    Abstract:
    A case of multiple endocrine adenopathy (MEA III) presenting as pheochromocytoma complicated the immediate puerperium. The patient presented with paroxysmal changes in blood pressure and episodic headaches with vertigo. Computed tomography identified a left adrenal mass that was diagnosed preoperatively as pheochromocytoma, with the diagnosis subsequently confirmed on histologic sections. Pheochromocytoma complicating pregnancy is rare, and fewer than 150 cases have been reported on. MEA III presenting as pheochromocytoma and complicating the puerperium is described here for the first time.
