Your findings suggests small meningioma in frontal region of brain. It is a tumor that arises from the meninges( membranes that surround your brain and spinal cord). Most meningiomas are noncancerous (benign),though rarely a meningioma may be cancerous.
If the tumor is not causing any symptoms,only observation is often recommended.But patient need regular brain scans to determine if the tumor is growing.
If the tumor grows in size and it is causing symptoms then surgery may be necessary.
