  "textContent": "Meningioma is the most common type of brain tumor. It does not develop in the brain tissue itself, but on the inside of the meninges, the membranes that surround the brain. In most cases, a meningioma is benign. However, it can still cause symptoms. Neurosurgeon Eelke Bos from Erasmus MC explains, \"The tumor cells of a meningioma usually do not grow into surrounding tissue. That is why we often call it a benign tumor. However, as the tumor grows, it presses on the brain and causes symptoms such as headaches and loss of bodily functions. So, there is nothing benign about these 'benign' brain tumors.\"",
