A Case of Spontaneous Tumor Lysis Syndrome in a Patient with Ovarian Cancer

الملخص EN

Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is a potentially life-threating complication of tumors or chemotherapy treatment.

TLS commonly occurs in hematological malignancies, but it is very rare in patients with a solid tumor.

In cases of solid tumors, TLS usually occurs spontaneously and after the initiation of anticancer therapy, and it has a high mortality rate.

We present the novel case of a 62-year-old woman with an ovarian tumor who spontaneously developed TLS.

Surgical reduction of the tumor mass vastly improved her condition.

She showed no sign of tumor recurrence 8 months after treatment.

As TLS is life-threatening, successful treatments must be seriously considered.
