Abstract

Tumor lysis syndrome TLS is commonly seen during the treatment of rapidly proliferating. However TLS is rarely reported in Non-small cell Lung Cancer. This may because of low proliferative rate and chemo-resistant nature of NSCLC. We are reporting a case of tumor lysis without concomitant syndrome in a patient with adenocarcinoma of Lung.
