Targeted FGFR Blockade for Tumor-Induced Osteomalacia This letter describes the
treatment of a patient with tumor-induced osteomalacia due to a phosphaturic mesenchymal
tumor. The discovery of FN1–FGFR1 fusion genes in such tumors has led to the
identification of fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 as a potential therapeutic target. Here, the
use of infigratinib, an FGFR1–3 tyrosine kinase inhibitor, decreased bone lesions.
