ABSTRACT

We report a case of spontaneous tumour lysis syndrome [STLS] in a patient with disseminated hormonal refractory cancer prostate. Tumour lysis syndrome [TLS] complicating Non-Hematological malignancy is infrequent and STLS is a very rare occurrence in solid tumor. Clinicians should keep in mind the possibility of STLS in patients with solid tumor and should have the experience to interpret the clinical and laboratory tests to identify it and rapidly initiate its management.

KEY WORDS: Tumor Lysis Syndrome: [TLS], Spontaneous Tumor Lysis Syndrome: [STLS], Solid Tumor.
