was changed:
A burnt out meningioma is a term used to denote a meningioma which has become completely calcified / ossified 1. The term refers to the usually indolent behaviour, with these tumours rarely seen to grow.
Most burnt out meningiomas are likely to be psammomatous meningiomas, as these are far more common than the other heavily calcified variety, metaplastic osseous meningioma.
