چکیده
Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is an aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma which can present with B symptoms, rash, and neurological deterioration. Up to 10% of cases of IVLBCL are associated with other hematological neoplasms, including this extremely rare presentation of IVLBCL as Richter's transformation in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Hodgkin 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 کاملA systematic review evaluating the efficacy of autologous hematopoietic transplantation for diffuse large B cell lymphoma-type Richter syndrome
Background: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) can transform into fast growing lymphoma for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) called Richter's syndrome (RS), which is commonly related to an existence of large B-cells with equal or larger size than macrophage nuclei or more than twice those of normal lymphocyte. We conducted a systematic review of the existing literature to assess the clinic...
متن کاملPeripheral T-Cell Lymphoma of the Submandibular Salivary Gland as an Unusual Manifestation of Richter's Syndrome: A Case Report and Literature Review
Richter's syndrome is the development of high-grade non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) or Hodgkin lymphoma in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). In most patients with Richter's syndrome, the high-grade NHL is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Only a small minority of CLL/SLL patients develop T-cell malignancies. Herein, we describe a 40-year-old male patient...
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 کاملA new look at an old syndrome.
In 1928, a pathologist at Bellevue Hospital in New York City named Maurice Richter performed an autopsy on a 46-year-old man. The patient had a 2-month history of abdominal pain and weight loss and was admitted to the hospital, where he died. He was found to have lymphatic leukemia and reticulum cell sarcoma.[1] In 1964, the term “Richter's syndrome” (or “Richter's transformation”) was introduc...
