Spontaneous Tumor Lysis Syndrome in Childhood T cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
We report two cases that presented with unexplained acute renal failure and hyperuricemia and were subsequently diagnosed with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The patients improved with conservative therapy without the need for dialysis. Case 1 is the youngest case of acute lymphoblastic leukemia with spontaneous tumor lysis syndrome reported to date, and Case 2 presented with spontaneous tumor lysis syndrome without hyperleukocytosis.
