EXPLANATION?: Arachnoid cysts are not uncommon, and involve congenital, lifetime, usually benign and incidental lesions. These are NOT "brain tumors" and in most cases cause no notable symptoms. Most radiologist reports reflect accuracy from MRI

Is an MRI definite? I did an MRI incidental finding of small arachnoid cyst, wondering if MRI without contrast could mistake this for like cancer or tumor?
Worried - Brain MRI w/out contrast 18 mo ago did not mention anything but recent CT w/contrast says possible small arachnoid cyst in anteriomedial frontal lobe. Could this be a tumor that grew since then?
