Clinical presentation
A 67‐year‐old Caucasian retired miner was referred by his general practitioner for an open access gastroscopy to evaluate dyspepsia of 6 months' duration. There were no associated “alarm symptoms”, comorbidities, past history of similar symptoms or gastroscopy. His only drug, ranitidine 150 mg twice daily, recently prescribed by his general practitioner, partially relieved his symptoms. He was an ex‐smoker and drank alcohol in moderation. Gastroscopy in July 2003 showed findings in the antral area (fig 1).
