cysts and to determine whether there are certain diagnostic imaging features that allow one …

✓ Small asymptomatic cysts of the pineal gland represent a common incidental finding in
adults undergoing computerized tomography or magnetic resonance (MR) imaging or at …

Glial cysts of the pineal gland are benign and mostly asymptomatic incidental lesions found
in the brain MRI or at autopsy examinations. In rare cases pineal cysts become symptomatic …

Thirty-two cases of pineal cyst diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were
reviewed and are described. The pineal cyst was demonstrated to be an area with slightly …

Discussion This case provides histologic proof of a benign pineal cyst that was seen as a

resonance imaging. Although pineal cysts are incidental findings in as many as 4% of …

Seven cases of clinically symptomatic benign glial cyst of the pineal gland are reported. The
cysts' size ranged from 1.0-4.5 cm in diameter. They were characterised by a golden or, less …

Pineal lesions are rare. Tumours in this location comprise 0.4–1% of intracranial tumours.
They grow mainly as solid-mass lesions, and cystic tumours are not common. On MRI, a …
