==B cell small lymphocytic lymphoma/chronic lymphocytic leukemia==
==B cell small lymphocytic lymphoma/chronic lymphocytic leukemia==
*Abbreviated ''CLL'' and ''SLL''.
{{Main|B cell small lymphocytic lymphoma/chronic lymphocytic leukemia}}
===General===
*Very common.
*Good prognosis.
 
====Richter's transformation====
*CLL/SLL may under go a ''Richter's transformation'' into a high-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), e.g. [[DLBCL]]:<ref name=pmid16616072>{{cite journal |author=Tsimberidou AM, Keating MJ |title=Richter's transformation in chronic lymphocytic leukemia |journal=Semin. Oncol. |volume=33 |issue=2 |pages=250–6 |year=2006 |month=April |pmid=16616072 |doi=10.1053/j.seminoncol.2006.01.016 |url=}}</ref>
**Incidence of transformation <5%.
**Prognosis < 1 year.
 
===Microscopic===
Features in a lymph node:<ref>DG. 17 August 2010.</ref>
*Mixed population of lymphoid cells with "proliferation centers" - '''key feature''':
*#Larger cells (~ 1.5x the size of resting lymphocyte ~ 12-15 micrometers):
*#*Nucleoli.
*#*Form (nodular) collections.
*#Small dark cells (~ size of resting lymphocyte ~ 8-10 micrometers):
*#*Predominant population.
*#*Lack nucleolus.
