General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

Meningioma is a mostly non-cancerous tumor of cells lining your brain and spinal cord. So as the mass was removed in previous surgery, chances are high that it has been grown again. If it's removed completely without any remnants then also it can grow.

So all these terminologies suggest that new mass has been detected up to various marking into the skull. It's better to have a visit to your doctor and diagnosis. Though it will take time around 3 hours as you said you should visit. Don't worry now and enjoy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nirav Nimavat, General & Family Physician
