Year: 2022

Type: 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.
