While traditionally viewed as benign, meningiomas can be associated with considerable morbidity, and specific meningioma subgroups display more aggressive behavior with higher recurrence rates. The risk stratification for recurrence has been primarily associated with the World Health Organization (WHO) histopathologic grade and extent of resection. However, a growing body of literature has highlighted the value of molecular characteristics in assessing recurrence risk. While maintaining the previous classification system, the 5th edition of the 2021 WHO Classification of Central Nervous System tumors (CNS5) book expands upon the molecular information in meningiomas to help guide management. The WHO CNS5 stratifies meningioma into 3 grades (1-3) based on histopathology criteria and molecular profile. The telomerase reverse transcriptase promoter mutations and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A/B (<i>CDKN2A</i>/<i>B)</i> deletions now signify a grade 3 meningioma with increased recurrence risk. Tumor location also correlates with underlying mutations. Cerebral convexity and most spinal meningiomas carry a 22q deletion and/or NF2 mutations, while skull base meningiomas have <i>AKT1</i>, <i>TRAF7</i>, <i>SMO</i>, and/or <i>PIK3CA</i> mutations.
