Summary

Pregnancy with catecholamine-secreting tumors is rare but manageable with early diagnosis and treatment. This case highlights successful antepartum management and delivery, though the infant developed periventricular leucomalacia.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Endocrinology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Catecholamine-secreting tumors during pregnancy are rare but pose significant risks to mother and fetus.
  • Early diagnosis and management are crucial for reducing high maternal and fetal mortality rates.

Observation:

  • A case of a catecholamine-secreting tumor diagnosed in the second trimester of pregnancy is presented.
  • Management involved alpha- and beta-blockade followed by a combined cesarean section and tumor resection in the third trimester.

Findings:

  • The combined surgical approach resulted in a healthy mother and infant.
  • Postpartum follow-up included imaging for the mother and ultrasonography for the infant.
  • The infant was diagnosed with periventricular leucomalacia, a condition with a poor prognosis.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of timely diagnosis and multidisciplinary management for catecholamine-secreting tumors in pregnancy.
  • While maternal and fetal outcomes can be favorable, potential neonatal complications like periventricular leucomalacia require careful monitoring and consideration.
  • Further research into optimal surgical approaches for early-trimester diagnoses is warranted.
