Pineal cysts (PCs) are benign and often asymptomatic lesions of the pineal region that are typically small and do not change in size over time. PCs appear as small, well circumscribed, unilocular masses that either reside within or completely replace the pineal gland. This article reviews and discusses the characteristic features of PCs-clinical, histological, and identifiable by various imaging modalities-which assist clinicians in narrowing the differential diagnosis for pineal lesions.
松果体囊肿（PCs）是松果体区域常见的良性、无症状病变，通常较小且大小不会随时间变化。PCs 表现为小的、边界清楚的单房性肿块，位于松果体内或完全取代松果体。本文综述并讨论了 PCs 的特征，包括临床、组织学和各种影像学表现，这些特征有助于临床医生缩小对松果体病变的鉴别诊断范围。
