A Pattern-Based Approach to the Interpretation of Skeletal Muscle Biopsies

Chunyu (Hunter) Cai, MD, PhDChunyu (Hunter) Cai,Douglas Anthony, andPeter Pytel have authored a wonderfully useful review article in Modern Pathology entitledA Pattern-Based Approach to the Interpretation of Skeletal Muscle Biopsies.Dr. Cai wrote the following to me: "In this review, we take a pathology-friendly approach and categorize muscle biopsies into 6 morphologic groups, and discuss common differential diagnoses for each group. I think this review fills a void that there is not a good quick guide for NP fellows, residents and even neuropathologists who don ’t sign out muscle cases on a routine base. " Thanks, Drs. Cai, Anthony, and Pytel for a review article that will be a fixture on the desks of many neuropathologists in the coming years!
