Richter's syndrome (RS), also known as Richter's transformation, is a transformation of B cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or hairy cell leukemia into a fast-growing diffuse large B cell lymphoma, a variety of non-Hodgkin lymphoma which is refractory to treatment and carries a bad prognosis.
