Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients with 17p deletion comprise a challenging subgroup associated with poor overall survival. These patients should be treated with alternative strategies. Reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT) can achieve long-term remission in this ultra-high-risk CLL group. Herein, we described a CLL patient with 17p deletion who developed Richter syndrome with extranodal involvement of the liver soon after RIC allo-SCT despite apparent acute graft-versus-host disease.
