Meningiomas

Meningiomas are tumors which originate from the linings that cover the brain, called meninges. These tumors are generally non-cancerous and slow growing. They normally don’t invade the adjacent brain, but rather push it aside. Occasionally, meningiomas can be biologically more aggressive (atypical meningiomas) or, in rare cases, malignant (malignant meningiomas).
