Transformed lymphoma, often referred to as Richter's transformation, most commonly arises from a preceding indolent lymphoma - usually follicular lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia. It is typically treated as per the histologic subtype, which is usually DLBCL. However, some regimens specific to transformed lymphoma have been developed and are included here.
