Abstract
The muscle biopsy performed in a 58-year-old woman with a myopathy involving pelvic girdle and lower limbs displayed unusual intermediate filament aggregates by light and electron microscopy. No cardiac involvement was detected. The filamentous aggregates selective for type 1 fibers were found in subsarcolemmal and intermyofibrillar areas closely related to Z bands. Immunohistochemical study by light and electron microscopy using polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies and avidin-biotin peroxidase method revealed that aggregates consisted of desmin filaments. Desmin positive material was unstained with vimentine antibodies.Entities:
