A member asked:
My father in law was recently diagnosed with a meningioma as well as sjogren's syndrome. is there a link between meningiomas and autoimmune diseases?

Not that we know of: first hope your father-in-law gets well, no direct association or causation has been confirmed as of yet, neurosurgeons and rheumatologists would work together in his best interest, good luck
