• D32.9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.

• Benign neoplasm of meninges
• Meningioma

• A benign tumor occurring in the meninges, which surround the brain and spinal cord. The most common are meningiomas.
• A generally slow growing tumor attached to the dura mater. It is composed of neoplastic meningothelial (arachnoidal) cells. It typically occurs in adults, often women and it has a wide range of histopathological appearances. Of the various subtypes, meningothelial, fibrous and transitional meningiomas are the most common. Most meningiomas are who grade i tumors, and some are who grade ii or iii tumors. Most subtypes share a common clinical behavior, although some subtypes are more likely to recur and follow a more aggressive clinical course. (adapted from who)
• A neoplasm of the meninges, for which the status of malignancy has not been determined.
• A relatively common neoplasm of the central nervous system that arises from arachnoidal cells. The majority are well differentiated vascular tumors which grow slowly and have a low potential to be invasive, although malignant subtypes occur. Meningiomas have a predilection to arise from the parasagittal region, cerebral convexity, sphenoidal ridge, olfactory groove, and spinal canal. (from devita et al., cancer: principles and practice of oncology, 5th ed, pp2056-7)
• A type of slow-growing tumor that forms in the meninges (thin layers of tissue that cover and protect the brain and spinal cord). Meningiomas usually occur in adults.

• Tumor of the membranes that cover and protect the brain and spinal cord
