AI Article Synopsis
- Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is a serious condition that occurs when cancer cells break down rapidly, leading to metabolic imbalances, notably hypocalcemia.
- A case study details a 62-year-old man who experienced spontaneous TLS along with hypercalcemia despite not having a known cancer at the time.
- After further investigation, it was revealed that he had plasma cell leukemia, highlighting the importance of monitoring for TLS even in patients with undiagnosed malignancies.
Article Abstract
Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is an oncologic emergency in which tumor cells undergo lysis either spontaneously or due to the initiation of cancer therapy typically presenting with hypocalcemia. We described a 62-year-old male patient with spontaneous TLS and hypercalcemia without a known malignancy, who is later discovered to have plasma cell leukemia.
