Abstract

Tubular aggregate myopathy: a case report A twenty six-year-old man applied to hospital with cramps, stiffness and weakness attacks triggered by exercise, and a muscle biopsy was performed with a probable diagnosis of myopathy. Histologically, subsarcolemmal vacuoles staining pale with hematoxylene eosin, red with modified Gomori's trichrome and intensive blue with nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-tetrazolium reductase were seen. Vacuoles were observed in only type 2 fibers. They did not stain with succinic dehydrogenase. The patient was diagnosed to have tubular aggregate myopathy. Because these vacuoles are seen bright red with modified Gomori's trichrome and blue with nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-tetrazolium reductase, tubular aggregate myopathy may be confused with mitochondrial myopathies histologically.

Özet

Yirmi altı yaşındaki erkek hasta, kramp, katılık ve egzersizin tetiklediği güçsüzlük atakları ile hastaneye başvurmuş ve miyopati ön tanısı ile kas biyopsisi yapılmıştır. Histolojik incelemede, hematoksilen eozin boyalı kesitlerde soluk, modifiye Gomori trikrom boyalı kesitlerde kırmızı ve nikotinamid adenin dinükleotid-tetrazolium redüktaz boyalı kesitlerde mavi boyanan subsarkolemmal vaküoller izlendi. Vaküoller sadece tip 2 liflerde görüldü. Vaküoller süksinik dehidrogenaz ile boyanmadı. Olguya tübüler agregat miyopati tanısı kondu. Vaküoller modifiye Gomori trikrom boyalı kesitlerde parlak kırmızı ve nikotinamid adenin dinükleotidtetrazolium redüktaz boyalı kesitlerde mavi boyanmaları nedeni ile, tübüler agregat miyopatiler histolojik olarak mitokondriyal miyopatilerle karşıtırılabilir.
