Arachnoid cysts are fluid filled sacs in the lining of the brain - you were likely born with it.

The pituitary lesion needs lab testing to determine the nature of the beast - only after  you know what it is can you know how it can be treated - be it medication or surgery. Don't go crazy, learn about it. But it does seem scary at first.
