Muscle Biopsy Report Question

[Guest guest]

I forgot to mention that some of my frozen muscle tissue was

evaluated using electron microscopy. The lab here wasn't able to do

this testing due to budgetary constraints. I was just wondering if

anyone knows what the following means:

" several fibers show increased peripheral staining on trichrome

stain. This may represent accumulations of mitochondria. Suggest

correlating with clinical presentation. "

I don't have a follow up visit with Dr. Tsao for a few months and am

just interested what this means if anything.
