Neoplasm of uncertain or unknown behaviour of meninges - what does this mean
Neoplasm of uncertain or unknown behaviour of meninges is a type of cancer that occurs when abnormal cells form in the tissue that covers the brain and spinal cord. these cells grow and divide in an uncontrolled manner, resulting in a mass of abnormal cells that can cause pressure on the brain or spinal cord and interfere with its normal functioning.
What happens during the disease - neoplasm of uncertain or unknown behaviour of meninges
Neoplasm of uncertain or unknown behaviour of meninges is a rare condition in which a mass of abnormal cells is found on or around the meninges, the protective layers of tissue that cover the brain and spinal cord. the cause of this condition is unknown, but it is thought to be related to genetic and environmental factors. it is believed that the abnormal cells form due to an abnormal growth of cells in the meninges, which can be caused by a mutation in the genes that control cell growth or due to exposure to certain environmental agents. treatment for this condition may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of these treatments.
