A member asked:
Why would a report say discrete mass first hypothesis arachnoid cyst? is a discrete mass an abnormal growth like a tumor or does it describe a cyst?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cannot interpret report comments precisely, and recommend you discuss with the radiologist. An arachnoid cyst is NOT a tumor, and is a congenital variation usually of no significance clinically.

My neuro says he is sure there is slight compression of an arachnoid cyst that is 30mm by 18mm left parietal lobe, how can he tell? My mri mentioned just the size but a ct mentioned discrete mass effect 8 months later, does this mean growth?
Did a mri non contrast and a ct contrast about 8 months apart both normal except for arachnoid cyst small in left parietal lobe. CT says 10mm thick and discrete mass effect but the mri did not just said 30mm by 18 mm arachnoid cyst? Indicates growth?
Have tiny 10mm cystic mass left parotid tail.Told to come back 6 mos check for growth.Is it possible it will not grow?Other possibilities than 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?
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?
