Abstract
We present a case of a patient who developed tumor lysis syndrome with neurological complaints since 2 week. He recently diagnosed as a case of Non Hodgkins lymphoma and was started on Chemotherapy. Risk factors for the development of tumor lysis syndrome were studied. High index of suspicion and early recognition of associated metabolic and renal complications on this case was supported to make easy to manage this condition in the emergency department. A 46 year aged male patient came to Emergency department presenting (chief) complaint(s) with swelling in the neck and axilla region since two weeks; decreased urine output since 3 days; pedal edema since 2 days and shortness of breath since 2 days.
