Vorasidenib, an oral dual inhibitor targeting mutant enzymes isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2, is utilized in the management of diffuse low-grade gliomas. Despite limited documentation of its adverse events, we present the case of a 44-year-old male who exhibited trichomegaly and hypertrichosis of body hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes following one month of vorasidenib treatment. Notably, the patient experienced diffuse hair regrowth on the scalp, including in areas affected by severe androgenetic alopecia. This report holds significance as it highlights a previously unreported side effect, thereby enhancing our understanding of emerging therapies for brain tumors and their associated adverse reactions.

Abstract
Vorasidenib, an oral dual inhibitor targeting mutant enzymes isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2, is utilized in the management of diffuse low-grade gliomas. Despite limited documentation of its adverse events, we present the case of a 44-year-old male who exhibited trichomegaly and hypertrichosis of body hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes following one month of vorasidenib treatment. Notably, the patient experienced diffuse hair regrowth on the scalp, including in areas affected by severe androgenetic alopecia. This report holds significance as it highlights a previously unreported side effect, thereby enhancing our understanding of emerging therapies for brain tumors and their associated adverse reactions.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
