Pages 17-20 | Published online: 17 Jan 2020

Figures & data

Figure 1 (A) A chest X-ray imaging showed slight deformation of the right femoral bone head and bone joint fissure narrowing. (B) Magnetic resonance imaging detected T2 prolongation in the right femoral bone head, synovial fluid retention, and bone joint fissure narrowing. These findings were not observed in the previous roentgenological imaging five months ago. The patient was diagnosed with right rapidly destructive coxarthrosis as a side effect of crizotinib.
