Hello @cristina29 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I can tell you are concerned. Have you called and asked if your meningioma on the report is cancerous? If not, I would suggest starting there.
Also, did they suggest a follow up MRI? If so, how far out?

Hi Amanda! After I read the report I’ve called and I’ve talked with the radiologist. I’ve asked him why didn’t he tell me about this and he explained to me that is nothing to worry about, that is already calcified and that I don’t need any fallow up MRI. But I have so many more questions... I have next week an appointment with a Neurologist.

@cristina29 that is great news. I am happy that you reached out directly to the source of some helpful additional information and that you have a follow up appointment!
Have you made a list of your questions for your appointment?
Hello Colleen
I hit my head and I had a CT done they found a 8 mm calcified extra axial lesion overlying the left frontal convexity with images favoring a benign meningioma. I am waiting to hear back from Mayo they received my written CT were waiting on the CD image. My anxiety is so over loaded. Just want to know what my options are.

I was diagnosed with a calcified frontal lobe meningioma a year ago this was an incidental find
Next week I go to see my neurologist to get the result of my one year MRI scan
I would insist that you too are monitored for your calcified meningioma as the can grow

Welcome @karen21. I wish you all the best for your one-year MRI next week. Did you have any treatments this past year or were you on "watchful waiting"?

Hi all no treatment … just watch and wait one more day for results of MRI have felt extremely anxious but just trying to keep busy with work and home life
I am hoping as it was calcified that it is just sitting there like a hardened little pea
fingers crossed
will keep you updated 🙏🏼

I was diagnosed last November with small calcified left frontal lobe meningioma.
Welcome @rifkinde. How is your frontal lob meningioma being treated? How are you doing?
I hope all is okay. Some have suggested it is wise to avoid radiation (CT) to the brain. Therefore, for any followup insist on a MRI. Best wishes.
