title: Hodgkin lymphoma in a patient with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia--a rare presentation of Richter's transformation.
abstract: 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.
