Skeletal Muscle atrophy
• common features of many
disorders
• causes:- loss of innervation ,
disuse, cachexia, old age, and
primary myopathies
• patterns:-
– clusters or groups of atrophic
fibers are seen in neurogenic
disease
– perifascicular atrophy is seen
in dermatomyositis
– type ii fiber atrophy with
sparing of type i fibers is seen
with prolonged corticosteroid
therapy or disuse.

Muscle Biopsy
• Often necessary for final diagnosis of myopathy
• Choose site based on clinical, electrodiagnostic, or
imaging features
• avoid “end-stage” fatty muscle
• Frozen sections most useful
• routine stains
• histochemistry
• immunohistochemistry
ACQUIRED
Inflammatory Myopathies
Polymyositis
• Adult-onset inflammatory myopathy that shares myalgia and weakness
with dermatomyositis but lacks its distinctive cutaneous features.
• Pathogenesis:
– Believed to have an immunologic basis.
– CD8-positve cytotoxic T cells are a prominent part of the
inflammatory infiltrate in affected muscle (mediators of tissue
damage)
– Vascular injury does not play major role (unlike dermatomyositis)
• Morphology:
– Endomysial mononuclear inflammatory cell infiltrates
– Degenerating necrotic, regenerating and atrophic myofibers are
typically found in a random or patchy distribution
– Absent perifascicular pattern of atrophy (characteristic of
Polymyositis
(Longitudinal Paraffin-Embedded Section)
• in all myopathies, degenerating fibers stain pale initially
and then become digested by macrophages.
• mononuclear inflammatory cell infiltrates and many
basophilic regenerating fibers (arrow)
Polymyositis
(Longitudinal Paraffin-Embedded Section-Higher Power)
• regenerating fiber (non-specific)
• fiber is basophilic due to presence of increased
RNA and RNA.
• activated plump nuclei and prominent nucleoli
Invasion of a Non-necrotic Fiber by
Inflammatory Cells
• Seen in polymyositis, inclusion body myositis, and a
few dystrophies.
Myophagocytosis
(Esterase Stain)
• macrophages are ingesting the remnants of a degenerating
fiber. this is a non-specific myopathic finding.
Dermatomyositis
• Immunologic disease in which damage to small blood vessels contributes to muscle
injury.
• Vasculopathic changes – Telangiectasias
• Pathogenesis :
– Inflammatory signature enriched for genes that are unregulated by type I
interferons is seen in muscle and in leukocytes (prominence – disease activity)
– Autoantibodies:
• Anti-Mi2 antibodies – Directed against a helicase implicated in nucleosome
remodeling. Strong association with prominent Gottron papules and heliotrope
rash.
• Anti-Jo1 antibodies – Directed against the enzyme histidyl t-RNA synthetase,
associated with interstitial lung disease, nonerosive arthritis and a skin rash
(Mechanic’s hand)
• Anti-P155/P140 antibodies – Directed against several transcriptional
• Morphology:
– Perimysial mononuclear inflammatory infiltrates in connective
tissue and around blood vessels.
– Myofiber atrophy is accentuated at the edges of the fascicles –
Perifascicular atrophy
– Segmental fiber necrosis and regeneration.
– Deposition of CD4+ T-helper cells and C5b-9 (MAC) in capillary
vessels.
– EM: tubuloreticular endothelial cell inclusion
Dermatomyositis
• perifascicular atrophy & degeneration
• perimysial nflammatory cells surround a blood vessel.
• inflammatory cells tend to be b-cells.
• vasculitis with bowel infarction and subcutaneous
calcifications sometimes occur in the childhood form.
Perifascicular Atrophy
(NADH-Reacted Section)
Membrane Attack Complex
(MAC)
(Immunohistochemical Stain)
• MAC is the terminal component of the complement
pathway.
• It is often deposited in capillaries in dermatomyositis.
INCLUSION BODY MYOSITIS
• Disease of late adulthood that typically affects patients older than 50
years and is the most common inflammatory myopathy in patients older
than age 65 years.
• Slowly progressive muscle weakness – m/c feature
– Most severe in quadriceps and distal upper extremity muscles.
– Dysphasia from esophageal and pharyngeal muscle involvement
• Lab investigation:
– S. creatine kinase level increased
– Myositis associated autoantibodies are absent.
• Morphology:
– Patchy often endomysial mononuclear inflammatory cell infiltrate rich in
CD8+ T- cells
– Increased sarcolemmal expression of MHC class I antigens
– Focal invasion of normal appearing myofibers by inflammatory cells
– Admixed degenerating and regenrating myofibers
– Abnormal cytoplasmic inclusions described as “rimmed vacuoles”
– Tubolofilamentous inclusions in myofibers – EM
– Cytoplasmic inclusions containing proteins typically associated with
neurodegenerative disease, like beta-amyloid, TDP-43, and ubiquintin
– Endomysial fibrosis and fatty replacement, reflective of a chronic disease
course.
Inclusion Body Myositis (IBM)
• Features of chronic myopathy with endomysial inflammation and
rimmed vacuoles are characteristic.
Vacuole
Invaded fiber
Lymphocytic inflammation
“Rimmed vacuoles”
• IBM: Vacuoles contain amyloid.
(Congo Red)
IBM Intracytoplasmic (within Vacuoles) or
Intranuclear Filamentous Inclusions
Giant cell
 Granulomas tend not to cause significant damage to adjacent
myofibers.
Granulomatous Myositis in a Patient with
Sarcoidosis
Endocrine Disturbance Type II Fiber Atrophy
(ATPase pH9.4)
• Characteristic of most endocrine myopathies and steroid
myopathy
Toxic myopathies
• Statin induced
• Chloroquine & hydroxychloroquine (Drug induced lysosomal storage
myopathy)
• ICU myopathy (corticosteroid therapy)
– Degradation of sarcomeric myosin thick filaments leading
to profound weakness
• Thyrotoxic myopathy
– Proximal muscle weakness, exophthalamic
ophthalmoplegia
• Alcohol
INHERITED
Congenital Myopathies
Central Core Myopathy
(NADH)
• Central areas of absent staining in the dark type I fibers
• Mitochondria absent
Congenital Myopathies: Central Core Myopathy
(NADH)
 The core consists of disorganized myofibrils and the area is devoid
of mitochondria.
 Eosinophilic inclusions present.

Muscular
Dystrophies
X linked muscular dystrophy
with dystrophin mutation
Duchenne and Becker musclar
dystrophy
• Most common muscular dystrophies x-linked and stem from mutations that disrupt the
function of a large structural protein called dystrophin.
• Early onset form – Duchenne muscular dystrophy
– Severe progressive phenotype
• Late onset form - Becker muscular dystrophy
– Isolated cardiomyopathy, asymptomatic elevation of creatine kinase, exercise
intolerance
• Pathogenesis:
– Loss of function mutations in the dystrophin gene on X- chormosome
– Dystrophin provide mechanical stability to the myofiber and its cell complex
• Morphology:
– Chnages in Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy are similar, but differ in
degree.
– Chronic muscle damage that outpaces the capacity for repair.
– Segmental myofiber degeneration and regeneration with an admixture of atrophic
myofirbers.
– Fatty replacement as disease progress
– IHC studies show absence of the normal sarcolemmal staining pattern in
Duchenne muscular dystrophin and reduced stationing in Becker muscular
• Clinical Feature
– Duchenne muscular dystrphy
• Normal at birth
• Early motor milestones
• Walking is delayed
• Clumsiness & inability to keep up with peers
• Pseudohyperthrophy of muscle
• Mean age of wheel chair dependence around 9.5 years
• Cardiomyopathy & arrhythmias
• Frank mental retardation
• Mean age of death 25 to 30 years
– Becker muscular dystrophy

Dystrophy
(A Mosaic Staining Pattern)
Myotonic Dystrophy
• Autosomal dominant multisystem disorder associated with skeletal
muscle weakness, cataracts, endocrinopathy, and cardiomyopathy.
• Myotonia key feature
• Pathogenesis
– Expansions of CTG triplet repeats in 3’-noncoding region of
myotonic dystrophy protein kinase (DMPK)
– Toxic gain of function
– CUG-repeats in the DMPK mRNA transcript appear to bind and
sequester a protein called muscleblind-like1 – Important role in
RNA splicing.
– This inhibits muscleblind-like-1function leading to missplicing of
other RNA transcripts including transcript for a chloride channel
called CLC1and is responsible for characteristic myotonia.
Myotonic Dystrophy
• Chronic changes
• Marked excess in internalized nuclei
• Variation in fiber sizes
• Nuclear clumps (not shown)
(H & E, Paraffin)
 The excess of internalized nuclei can lead to nuclear
chains.
Myotonic Dystrophy
(NADH-Reacted Section)
• Ring fibers in which myofilaments are organized
in different directions
Emery-Dreifuss Muscular
Dystrophy
• Caused by mutation in genes that encode nuclear lamina proteins.
• Triad
– Slowly progressive humeroperoneal weakness
– Cardiomyopathy
– Early contractures of the Achilles tendon, spine & elbow
• X-linked form [EMD1]– mutation in genes encoding emerin
• Autosomal form [EMD2] – mutation in genes encoding lamin
• These protein helps in maintaining the shape and mechanical stability of the
nucleus during muscle contraction.
Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy
(Gomori Trichrome-Stained Frozen Section)
Necrotic fiber
 Variation in fiber size with many hypertrophic fibers
 Increase in endomysial connective tissue
 Nonspecific so-called dystrophic changes seen in many of the muscular
dystrophies.
 Can also be seen in any chronic myopathic disorder.
 This disorder is due to loss of the protein emerin.
Fascioscapulohumeral
Dystrophy
• Characteristic pattern of muscle involvement that includes prominent
weakness of facial muscles and muscles of the shoulder girdle.
• Autosomal Dominant
• Pathogenesis:
– Overexpression of a gene called DUX4, located in a region of
subtelomeric repeats on the long arm of chromosome 4.
– Deletion in flanking repeats causes changes in chromatin that derepress
the remaining copies of DUX4 thus leading to overexpression.
Fascioscapulohumeral Dystrophy (FSHD)
• The majority of dystrophies do not have a specific histopathologic appearance.
• Clinical features are also very important.
• For example, winging of the scapula is characteristic of FSHD.
FSH Dystrophy
• Variable non-specific changes
• Range from scattered atrophy to “dystrophic” features.
• Inflammation can be present (arrow).
Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy
• Heterogeneous group
– 6 AD
– 15 AT
• Characterized by muscle weakness that preferentially involves proximal
muscle groups.
• Pathogenesis
– Genes encoding structural components (sarcoglycans) of the
dystrophin glycoprotein complex
– Genes encoding enzymes that are responsible for glycosylation of a-
dystroglycan, a component of the dystrophin glycoprotein complex
– Genes encoding proteins that associate with the Z-disks of sarcomeres
– Genes encoding proteins involved in vesicle trafficking and cell
signaling
– Genes that seemingly stand alone, such as those encoding the
protease calpain 3 and laminA/C (which is also mutated in some
patients with Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy)

Disease of Lipid or Glycogen
Metabolism
• Inborn errors of lipid or glycogen metabolism
• Severe muscle cramping and pain
• Extensive muscle necrosis (rhabdomyolysis)
• Example
– Carnitine palmitoyltransferace II deficiency (m/c)
– Myophosphorylase deficiency (McArdle ds)
– Acid maltase deficiency
• Increased lipid storage
• Seen in carnitine deficiency states (primary or secondary)
• Sometimes as a consequence of certain toxins
• Focal increases can be non-specific.
(Oil-Red-O
Stain)
Lipid Storage Myopathy
(Electron Microscopy)
Glycogen Storage Myopathies
• Some glycogen storage myopathies, such as myophosphorylase deficiency
(McArdle’s Disease), cause subsarcolemmal blebs.
• PAS-positive due to the presence of glycogen.
• Only with acid maltase deficiency is glycogen deposited in lysomsomes.
Acid Maltase Deficiency
(Acid Phosphatase)
• Due to the intralysosomal activity of this enzyme
• Prominent staining with acid phosphatase in vacuoles
Vacuolarmyopathy noted.
Normal Glycogen
(PAS Stain) Control
Increased Glycogen
 Acid maltase deficiency
 Increased glycogen (diffusely and in vacuoles)
Ion Channel Myopathies
(Channelopathies)
• KCNJ2 :
– mutations affecting this potassium channel cause Andersen-Twail
syndrome
• AD, Periodic paralysis, Heart arrhythmias, skeletal abnormalities
• SCN4A :
– Mutations affecting this sodium channel cause several AD with
presentations ranging from myotonia to periodic paralysis.
• CACNA1S :
– Missense mutations in this protein, a subunit of a muscle calcium
channel, are the most common cause of hypokalemic paralysis.
• CLC1:
– Mutations affecting this chloride channel cuases myotonia congenita
– Expression decreased in myotonic dystrophy
• RYR1:
– Mutation in the RYR1 gene disrupt the funciton of the ryanodine
receptor , which regulated calcium release from the sarcoplasmic
reticulum
– Central core myopathy
