Usually slow growing: Meningiomas are usually slow growing and can be present for years. We do not know beginning point of process, could have been over two years or a month ago. Assessment by Oncology with imaging findings and perhaps biopsy and surgery are best determination of histology.

2 years ago I had a CT scan for some headaches I was having and they found no tumor, about a week ago I had a MRI for an unrelated issue and they found a 8mm meningioma. Should I be worried about its growth in that short period of time?
So I was recently diagnosed with a meningioma. It was measured around 8mm in diameter and I have a follow up in 6 months to check for growth, I had a CT scan 2 years ago and they found nothing, should I worry about more rapid growth?
