Right pulmonic recess

Last revised by Arlene Campos on 12 Jan 2024

The right pulmonic recess is one of the pericardial recesses forming a small space within the pericardium, which arises from the transverse pericardial sinus. It is located posterior to the right pulmonary artery and anterior to the esophagus. It may mimic mediastinal lymphadenopathy or a bronchogenic cyst.
