Inside only: Meningiomas are benign (non-cancerous) tumors of the meninges, the tissue that covers the brain. Meningiomas can only occur inside the skull. Whatever the cause of the lump you feel, it isn't a meningioma or any other kind of brain tumor. See your doctor if you remain concerned about it.

You don't have: Meningioma , a benign tumor is intra-cranial ( in side the skull ) originates from lining membrane of skull not brain itself so you can not feel it . What you are feeling is a fatty benign tumor - lipoma , common at that location , show to your doctor .

Response: What prompts concern of a meningioma. Bony lumps over the skull are normal. Might you benefit from visiting your doctor and getting your concerns addressed?
