Abstract
- Tumor lysis syndrome is one of the major oncological emergency. It causes complications such as acute kidney injury, cardiac arrhythmia, and death. However, it is rare in solid tumors. We report on a case of a patient with myoma of uterus who developed tumor lysis syndrome and acute kidney injury after high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment. The potential complications of tumor lysis syndrome should be considered in HIFU treatment.
