Abstract
A patient with pseudotruncus arteriosus who presented with a large med iastinal mass due to a systemic-to-pulmonary collateral artery aneurys m is reported. This aneurysm caused tracheal compression with resultin g dyspnea and postobstructive pneumonitis, which are unusual presentin g features in these patients. The differential diagnosis for a mediast inal mass arising in a patient with pseudotruncus arteriosus, or any o ther patient with possible systemic-to-pulmonary collateral arteries, should include aneurysm.
