Abstract
Hodgkin's disease rarely develops in patients with B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Patients developing Hodgkin's disease after the diagnosis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia have been called the "Hodgkin's disease variant of Richter's transformation." We present a 62-yr-old man with a 17-mo history of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, who clinically and hematologically on remission was admitted to our clinic because of rapidly developing right cervical lymphadenopathy. He was diagnosed with lymph node biopsy as a mixed-cellularity Hodgkin's disease.Entities:
