Abstract
Richter's syndrome (RS) is a serious complication of chronic lymphocytic leukemia, occurring yearly in 2-10 % of cases. Despite new treatment modalities in the field of haematooncology, RS remains a major clinical challenge.
This case report presents a patient in whom disease control was not achieved despite the use of various novel therapeutic approaches. This case thus demonstrates the extremely unfavorable prognosis of RS patients and the clinical urgency of developing new therapeutic approaches.
