Hello,
The meningioma is entirely unrelated to your cold/flu symptoms. It's an incidental finding unless you also have complaints of headaches or other neurological symptoms that could be related to the meningioma.
Typically, these benign tumors are not resected from the brain since they tend to recur and mainly don't cause problems.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
