Fulltext PDFWe report a case of the spontaneous tumor lysis syndrome in untreated metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma. Tumor lysis syndrome is normally associated with hematological malignancies. A previously well 65-year-old Caucasian male presented with confusion after a recent diagnosis of metastatic colorectal cancer. He was found to have clinical and laboratory findings consistent with tumor lysis syndrome, and was managed aggressively as such. The recognition of spontaneous tumor lysis syndrome in solid tumors is important to prevent diagnostic delays and ensure appropriate therapy.
