AB  - We report the first known case of concurrent partial 
cystectomy and cesarean delivery in a pregnant female 
with bladder pheochromocytoma. A 28-year-old G4P2 
female presented at 28 weeks gestation with labile blood 
pressures requiring three antihypertensive medications. 
Urinary catecholamines were elevated, and a subsequent 
MRI showed a 2.6 cm x 3.2 cm bladder wall mass. 
She underwent combined cesarian section and partial 
cystectomy at 37 weeks. Fluid resuscitation and 
vasopressors were required in the immediate postoperative 
period. While bladder pheochromocytoma with pregnancy 
is a rare occurrence, concurrent delivery and removal of 
the bladder tumor can be performed safely.
