[Right aortic arch simulates mediastinal tumor: diagnosis with spiral CT].
We report the case of a patient with right aortic arch (type III) mimicking a mediastinal tumor. We discuss the radiological findings together with their embryologic correlations, and emphasize the role of spiral-CT in the acquisition of imaging data under difficult diagnostic conditions.
