A member asked:

In your experience, do benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors of the spine (intradural, extramedullary), monitored over time with mris, usually remain stable in size for the patient's lifetime?

Usually yes: Most of them will be just a nuisance.

Depends: Benign intradural, extramedullary lesions are tumors that grow very slowly, and as such cannot remain unchanged in size over a person's lifetime.
