Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is an oncologic emergency that is caused by massive tumor cell lysis. It is commonly associated with hematological cancers like leukemia and lymphoma and uncommonly with solid nonhematologic tumors as well. However, spontaneous tumor lysis syndrome (STLS) without any cytotoxic chemotherapy rarely occurs in solid tumors. We describe a case of STLS in a metastatic adenocarcinoma of unknown primary and review the literature of STLS in solid non-hematologic tumors to identify various risk factors for pathogenesis of this entity.
肿瘤溶解综合征(TLS)是一种由大量肿瘤细胞溶解引起的肿瘤急症。它通常与白血病和淋巴瘤等血液系统癌症相关,也较少见于实体非血液系统肿瘤。然而,在实体肿瘤中,很少发生无任何细胞毒性化疗的自发性肿瘤溶解综合征(STLS)。我们报告一例原发灶不明的转移性腺癌患者发生STLS的病例,并回顾实体非血液系统肿瘤中STLS的文献,以确定该疾病发病机制的各种危险因素。
