A member asked:

Is it possible for an pineal gland to be just enlarged with no growths or cyst?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, slightly : It the pineal gland is slightly enlarged, that may happen in the absence of a tumor or cyst. However, if the pineal gland is much more than the 5-8mm that is the normal range, then it is likely due to some tumor or cyst. An MRI scan will likely show some heterogeneity and multi-loculated components in the pineal gland.
