Femoral head avascular necrosis can be seen with tyrosine kinase inhibitors, although it is very rare. This is the case in the literature to develop avascular necrosis due to alectinib. We think that femoral head necrosis may develop in the patient group using alectinib and care should be taken in this regard.
