Relative frequencies for common subtypes in the revised European-American classification of lymphoid neoplasms (REAL classification) have been reported. We determined the relative frequencies and sites of presentation of REAL subtypes at a 700-bed community hospital in central Illinois. A database was used to identify and prospectively catalogue all newly diagnosed lymphoid neoplasms from July 1, 1995 to March 1, 1998. The approach to diagnosis and subtyping incorporated morphologic features, immunophenotype, and clinical findings according to criteria proposed in the REAL classification. Of 347 lymphoid neoplasms diagnosed, 319 were subtyped in the REAL classification. Of these, 261 were B-cell neoplasms, 21 were T-cell neoplasms, and 37 were Hodgkin disease variants. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma/prolymphocytic leukemia, diffuse large cell, and follicle center neoplasms were the most common B-cell subtypes. Large granular lymphocyte leukemia was the most common T-cell neoplasm. Nodular sclerosis was the most common Hodgkin disease variant. The relative frequencies in a US community hospital setting are similar to those reported in other studies. Differences are attributable to patient selection criteria, study group geographic location and racial composition, and/or referral patterns. Diverse REAL classification subtypes may be expected in US community hospitals.
