dc.description.abstractThis is 1996. I had returned to a consultant histopathologist’s post at St Luke’s Hospital the year before, and had become acquainted socially with a Maltese commercial lawyer and his ex-pat wife. Shortly afterwards, he informed me that his wife hasn’t been well and that Dr Mario Vassallo had just performed a private gastroscopy, was worried she had something serious and whether I would mind looking at the biopsy material. Mario Vassallo found a large gastric ulcer with rolled edges, practically diagnostic of a carcinoma. Fortunately the histology showed a low grade lymphoma of “mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue” (MALT) type, which carried a far better prognosis.en_GB
