Muscle pathology can give much information to reach the diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders. Major pathological changes occurred in skeletal muscles include muscle fiber atrophy/hypertrophy, necrosis/regeneration, inflammation, myofibrillar disorganization, abnormal inclusions, and disruptions in cellular organelles. Physicians should be able to understand what each of these findings indicates. However, these are not always specific to a certain disease, and instead most of them are commonly found in many of muscle diseases. Thus, muscle pathological findings should be carefully interpreted under the given clinical settings.
