Chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) is the most common leukemia in adults in Western countries.

A thorough molecular workup may help in determining clonality-relatedness and prognosis. We describe two cases of CLL/SLL that transformed into PBL, with an extensive molecular workup in one case, and a review of the literature.
