At 18 weeks of gestation , severe hypertension developed . Medical history was significant for chronic hypertension , nephrolithiasis , and an atrial myxoma excised in 2011 . She had Cushingoid features , an elevated 24 -hour urine free cortisol , and a cutaneous myxoma . At 26 weeks of gestation , superimposed preeclampsia developed .
