We hypothesized that gestational hormones may participate in the pathophysiology of catecholamine excess during pregnancy. We report a case of silent pheochromocytoma revealed in a pregnant woman by life-threatening adrenergic myocarditis.

Pheochromocytoma is a tumor arising from chromaffin cells of the medulla of adrenal gland and secretes excessive amounts of catecholamines: epinephrine and norepinephrine.

Pheochromocytoma has been referred to as "the masquerader" for its numerous atypical presentations, which makes its diagnosis medically challenging.
