Popis: Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) is the most common hematologic emergency encountered during the treatment of high-grade malignancies. While it can lead to death, the prognosis is typically excellent if caught early on in the course. Risk stratification prior to treatment initiation is paramount in deciding the utility of prophylaxis and ultimately in reducing morbidity and mortality. The following case describes the development of TLS in a patient categorized as low risk and highlights the need for further elucidation of a unified risk stratification system.
