John G. Azzopardi (2 January, 1929, Malta  – 2 January, 2013, London) was a prominent pathologist, recognized for his contributions to diagnostic surgical pathology, particularly in breast pathology. [1] [2] [3] His name is also eponymously connected with his elucidation of the Azzopardi phenomenon. [4] [5]

He started his medical training at the Royal University of Malta in 1942 “at the tender age of 13”. [2] After he qualified as MD in 1949, he moved to England. His entire career, with the exception of sabbaticals at the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, Washington DC (1960 – 1961) and two months at the University of Bologna in 1972, was in pathology at the Royal Postgraduate Medical School, Hammersmith Hospital, London, where he held a series of positions, including Professor of Oncology. [2]

In 2006, an international symposium was held in his honor, where he was presented with a lifetime achievement award by the International Society of Breast Pathology. [6]
