Like a creature from a science fiction movie, chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) can be a shape-shifter. In a small number of cases, patients with CLL will develop lymphoma, a complication known as Richter transformation (RT). “It’s like having two cancers at once,” said Adam Kittai, MD, a CLL and RT specialist with Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York City. The prospects are grim for patients with the condition, named after a New York City pathologist who first described it in 1928.

One patient, a 39-year-old woman, went to a dermatologist seeking care for fluid-filled blisters over the backs of her hands and arms. Another patient, a 56-year-old man, sought care from his general practitioner owing to fatigue.

Both ended up in the care of hematologists who diagnosed their conditions as porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) and hemochromatosis, respectively.

However, the disease remained a mainstay of medical education for dermatologists. While few trainees might see measles in practice, the thinking went, the lesions were still a useful benchmark for diagnosing viral skin diseases.

Newly released regulations governing Medicare Advantage (MA) and Part D next year are a mixed bag for physicians. The rules for 2026 will provide some relief on the prior authorization (PA) front, but they’ll also aggravate clinicians champing for reimbursement relief as insurers get a huge financial boost.
