2. Histopathological confirmation of a benign neoplasm originating from the meninges, if biopsy or surgical specimen is available

3. Absence of malignant features on imaging or pathology

4. No evidence of metastatic disease to the meninges

5. Patient may present with symptoms such as headache, seizures, focal neurological deficits, or may be asymptomatic

6. Lesion location is within the cranial or spinal meninges

7. No specification of the exact type or location of the benign meningeal neoplasm in the available clinical documentation
