Idiopathic tumor lysis syndrome is a rare complication in the course of neoplastic disease. This condition requires an interdisciplinary therapeutic procedure. The presented case of spontaneous tumor lysis syndrome in the course of malignant large B-cell lymphoma describes an effective therapeutic approach in this type of cases.
