title: A Right Upper Lobe Mass in the Thorax After Modified Blalock-Taussig Shunt.
abstract: We report an incidental finding of pseudoaneurysm in a 10-month-old boy with tetralogy of Fallot and Down syndrome who had undergone placement of a modified Blalock-Taussig shunt at age four months. Computed tomography was a determinant exam for better assessment. The lesion was successfully resected with concomitant complete repair of tetralogy of Fallot in a single-stage. The child was asymptomatic at fourth month follow-up.
