Popis: The occurrence of endocrine tumors in pregnancy poses several diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Although rare, functioning tumors involving the pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, and pancreas are reported in the literature. Timely diagnosis and management of these tumors are essential as they might lead to adverse maternal and fetal outcomes if left untreated. This review is an attempt to characterize various functioning tumors that could occur in pregnancy, their clinical features, diagnosis, and management.
