Botox injections to the face: a mimic of Richter's Transformation
Shafik-Eid, R1, Nandurkar, D2, Ramdave, S3.
Chronic Lymphocytic Lymphoma (CLL) may transform into an aggressive high grade variant in
approximately 4-6% of cases known as Richter’s Transformation (RT). Cutaneous lymphoma as well
as other high-grade lymphomas may be a rare presentation of RT. As minimally invasive cosmetic
procedures increase in popularity, we present an important mimicker of cutaneous uptake of the lower
face simulating RT in a patient with CLL, after the injection of collagen fillers and botulinum toxin A
(Botox) to the lower face. To our knowledge there are no previous studies on this important observation.
Reading physicians should be cognisant of this masquerade to prevent misdiagnosis.
