Abstract
Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is 1 of the complications that usually follows chemotherapy treatment of myelo-lymphoproliferative diseases. Corticosteroids (CS) could also induce TLS in this type of malignancies. On the other hand, TLS in solid tumors is less frequent, and CS treatment was never reported to be associated with TLS in solid tumor. Here we report the first case of TLS in a solid tumor (melanoma) after CS treatment.Entities:
