A 7-year-old child developed slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) 3 years following pelvic irradiation for rhabdomyosarcoma. The reasons for this occurrence are discussed. This is the second report of radiation-induced SCFE and it is anticipated that more such cases are likely to occur. Cancer 44:480-482, 1979.
