Case report: Slipped capital femoral epiphysis: a rare adverse event associated with FGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy in a child
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We report a case of slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE), an on target skeletal toxicity of a pan-FGFR TKI inhibitor, erdafitinib. A 13-year-old boy was diagnosed to have an optic pathway/hypothalamic glioma with signs of increased intracranial pressure and obstructive hydrocephalus requiring placement of ventriculo-peritoneal (VP) shunt. Sequencing of the tumor showed FGFR1-tyrosine kinase domain internal tandem duplication (FGFR1-KD-ITD). He developed hypothalamic obesity with rapid weight gain and BMI >30. At 12 weeks of treatment with erdafitinib, he developed persistent knee pain. X-ray of the right hip showed SCFE. Erdafitinib was discontinued, and he underwent surgical pinning of the right hip. MRI at discontinuation of erdafitinib showed a 30% decrease in the size of the tumor, which has remained stable at 6 months follow-up. Our experience and literature review suggest that pediatric patients who are treated with pan-FGFR TKIs should be regularly monitored for skeletal side effects.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
