Tumor Lysis Syndrome in a Solid Tumor: A Case Report of a Patient with Invasive Thymoma

Tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) has rarely been observed in solid tumors. We report on a case of a patient with advanced invasive thymoma who developed tumor lysis syndrome after chemotherapy. The potential complications of TLS should be considered in treatment of extensive thymoma.
