Spontaneous Tumor Lysis Syndrome in Metastatic Melanoma
Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) complicating non-hematologic malignancy is infrequent and spontaneous TLS is a very rare occurrence in patients with solid tumors. We report a case of spontaneous TLS in a patient with metastatic melanoma. Clinicians should have awareness of the possibility of spontaneous TLS in patients with solid tumors and should recognize the clinical presentation and laboratory t...
متن کاملOncologic Emergencies: Tumor Lysis Syndrome
The tumor lysis syndrome (TLS), characterized by hyperkalemia, hyperuricemia, hyperphosphatemia and secondary hypocalcemia, is a consequence of treatmentinduced or spontaneous tumor cell death. It usually occurs a few hours to a few days after commencing cytotoxic chemotherapy for tumors with a high percentage of proliferating and drug-sensitive cells. Cell death leads to the release of potassi...

متن کاملSpontaneous Tumor Lysis Syndrome
Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is a known complication of malignancy and its treatment. The incidence varies on malignancy type, but is most common with hematologic neoplasms during cytotoxic treatment. Spontaneous TLS is thought to be rare. This case study is of a 62-year-old female admitted with multisystem organ failure, with subsequent diagnosis of aggressive B cell lymphoma. On admission, labo...
متن کاملSpontaneous Tumor Lysis Syndrome in a Patient with a Dedifferentiated Endometrial Adenocarcinoma
Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is an oncological emergency caused by massive cytolysis of malignant cells. This syndrome eventually induces metabolic abnormalities. TLS is observed mainly among tumors with rapid cell proliferation or high sensitivity to antineoplastic treatment. In rare cases, TLS occurs without any cytotoxic treatment. Previous reports have shown that alternative stress including ...
