   Richter's transformation (RT), also known as Richter's syndrome, is the conversion of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or its variant, small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), into a new and more aggressively malignant disease. [1] CLL is the circulation of malignant B lymphocytes with or without the infiltration of these cells into lymphatic or ...

3. Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-transplant_lymphopro...

   Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder ( PTLD) is the name given to a B cell proliferation due to therapeutic immunosuppression after organ transplantation. These patients may develop infectious mononucleosis-like lesions or polyclonal polymorphic B-cell hyperplasia. Some of these B cells may undergo mutations which will render them ...

4. Follicular lymphoma - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Follicular_lymphoma

   Follicular lymphoma ( FL) is a cancer that involves certain types of white blood cells known as lymphocytes. The cancer originates from the uncontrolled division of specific types of B-cells known as centrocytes and centroblasts. These cells normally occupy the follicles (nodular swirls of various types of lymphocytes) in the germinal centers ...

   Micrograph of an anaplastic large-cell lymphoma. H&E stain. Anaplastic large-cell lymphoma ( ALCL) refers to a group of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in which aberrant T cells proliferate uncontrollably. Considered as a single entity, ALCL is the most common type of peripheral lymphoma [1] and represents ~10% of all peripheral lymphomas in children. [2]

8. X-linked lymphoproliferative disease - Wikipedia

   Care differs depending on the phenotype of XLP expressed, with treatments varying between those experiencing HLH or lymphoma, and whether or not they have been infected with EBV. Still, a bone marrow transplant that includes CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells is the only known treatment for the disorder as a whole. Patients who cannot find a bone ...

9. Lymphoproliferative disorders - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymphoproliferative_disorders

   Lymphoproliferative disorders are a set of disorders characterized by the abnormal proliferation of lymphocytes into a monoclonal lymphocytosis. The two major types of lymphocytes are B cells and T cells, which are derived from pluripotent hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. Individuals who have some sort of dysfunction with their ...
