Tumour lysis syndrome is rare in solid malignancies. Here, we report a case of tumour lysis syndrome and acute kidney injury in a 23-year-old female with gestational trophoblastic neoplasia. Hydration and early dialysis therapy were started with good recovery. On follow up she progressed to chronic kidney disease. After 6 years of follow up, the patient conceived and delivered successfully.
