Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Meningiomas are typically slow-growing tumors that arise from the meninges, the protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. They are usually benign and confined to the surface of the brain, making them more easily surgically removed. Meningiomas are rare malignant, and they have a low risk of metastasizing to other organs.
