Ibrutinib-associated tumor lysis syndrome in a patient with mantle cell lymphoma: A case report.
Journal of Oncology Pharmacy Practice 2017 April
Mantle cell lymphoma accounts for 5-7% of all non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Under the current WHO classification, it is categorized as an indolent B cell lymphoma, but has an aggressive clinical course. New insights into leukemogenic molecular pathways of mantle cell lymphoma have uncovered unique therapeutic targets. Ibrutinib, a Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is the newest drug in the arsenal that has shown promising efficacy in relapsed mantle cell lymphoma. Long-term studies have shown that grade 3 or 4 adverse events are infrequent. Asymptomatic lymphocytosis is frequently seen with ibrutinib use in mantle cell lymphoma; however, tumor lysis syndrome is an extremely rare complication. To date, only two patients with ibrutinib-associated tumor lysis syndrome in mantle cell lymphoma have been described in a long-term follow-up study. Both patients met laboratory criteria for tumor lysis syndrome, however, but did not develop clinical tumor lysis syndrome. We, here describe a patient with relapsed mantle cell lymphoma who developed clinical tumor lysis syndrome with ibrutinib monotherapy.
