What is paramyomegaly?

Answer 1

Paramyomegaly is a rare condition characterized by the abnormal enlargement of muscle fibers, particularly in skeletal muscles. It is often associated with certain myopathies, such as inclusion body myositis or muscular dystrophies. The term may also refer to the presence of enlarged muscle fibers that exhibit specific histological features, which can be observed through muscle biopsy. Diagnosis typically involves clinical evaluation and histopathological examination.
