A member asked:

Can someone please help me with these mri results? it seems like a cyst, but then why do they use the word neoplasm? "8 mm thin-walled cyst within the pineal gland. no abnormal enhancement. simple 8 mm cyst within the high neoplasm.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pineal cysts, although uncommon, are typically benign and certainly not cancerous. Would suggest, in view of the unusual wording, discuss the significance with the radiologist. This may involve a mere transcription event.
