The utility of muscle biopsy.

Current neurology and neuroscience reports - 1 Jan 2004

Lacomis David

Abstract excerpt

Despite major advances in molecular genetics, histopathologic evaluation of muscle biopsy specimens continues to provide important diagnostic information in patients with suspected muscle diseases and in patients with vasculitic neuropathies. Muscle biopsy specimens are used in diagnosing many inherited as well as inflammatory and toxic myopathies. Furthermore, the study of muscle histopathology can also enhance...
