Hodgkin lymphoma transformation of chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma.
Transformation to a large cell lymphoma may occur during the course of chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) in approximately 5% of the cases. This is known as Richter's transformation. A much less frequent transformation to Hodgkin lymphoma may occur. We report a case of CLL/SLL in which a transformation to Hodgkin lymphoma occurred, and we review previously publish...
متن کاملDetection of Hodgkin Transformation in a Case of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia by PET/CT
Richter's transformation (RT) represents the development of high grade lymphoma, most commonly diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL). CLL/SLL may convert also to Hodgkin's lymphoma, the so-called Hodgkin's variant of Richter transformation. Histopathological proof is needed to confirm a definitive diagnosis. Patients...
متن کاملRichter transformation of chronic lymphocytic leukemia presenting as a dural-based non-hodgkin lymphoma mass.
Richter transformation is defined as a diffuse large cell lymphoma, occurring by transformation of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). We present a 64-year-old man with a history of CLL and a left parieto-occipital transtentorial extra-axial mass. The patient underwent CT and MR imaging, demonstrating a large dural-based mass with extracranial extension, which occluded the left transverse sinus...
متن کاملHodgkin lymphoma transformation of chronic lymphocytic leukemia: cases report and discussion
B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) is the most common form of leukemia affecting adults in Europe and North America. Large B-cell lymphoma known as Richter's syndrome (RS) may develop approximately in 3-15 % patients. Furthermore, other hematological malignancies may also occur as RS variants, among them-Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). CLL/SLL transformation into HL...
متن کاملOrigin of the Hodgkin/Reed-Sternberg cells in chronic lymphocytic leukemia with "Hodgkin's transformation".
A lymphoma with the characteristic features of Hodgkin's disease (HD) occasionally develops in patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), and has been called Richter's syndrome with HD features. In such cases, large tumor cells have the morphological and immunophenotypic features of classical Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (H-RS) cells. However, it is not known whether the H-RS cells ...
