Bykov 18 years after it had been written and first submitted to the editorial board of the journal "Arkhiv patologii" are presented. The paper first describing gastric lymphomatosis in the USSR was submitted to the editors in March, 1964, approved but returned to the authors for insignificant corrections and additions, but because of a disease and death of one of the authors (M.F. Glazunov) was resubmitted after sorting out of M.F. Glazunov's scientific archives only in March 1982. The present publication of the contents and illustrations of the authors is aimed at determining their priority in the establishment of the diagnosis of gastric lymphomatosis in this country far back in 1964.
