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 کاملHodgkin lymphoma in a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia--a rare presentation of Richter's transformation.
Richter's transformation of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) to high-grade B-cell Non-Hodgkin lymphoma occurs in < 5% of CLL cases. Transformation of CLL to Hodgkin Lymphoma is a much rarer event and here we describe a patient who developed Richter's transformation into a Hodgkin Lymphoma presenting as rapidly progressive hepatosplenomegaly.
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 کاملLymphoma and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemias
ABSTR ACT: The survival of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) has significantly improved in the last 30 years. The introduction of purine analogs in the treatment armamentarium followed by the combination of these compounds with alkylating agents first improved response rates and progression-free survival (PFS) when compared with alkylating agent-based therapy only. However, the g...
