Sympathetic PGLs are mostly functional, presenting in a variable and non-specific way. We report a case of PGL, which was diagnosed further to an investigation of acute myocardial infarction in a postpartum woman, highlighting that the absence of typical symptoms may delay the diagnosis.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Italian Journal of Medicine}, author={Pinto, Sara and Ferreira, Raquel and Gonzaga, Anabela and Bastos, José Mesquita}, year={2019}, month={Apr.}, pages={124–127} }
