Skeletal muscle tissue from 3 patients with clinical diagnosis of limb girdle muscular dystrophy revealed a vacuolar myopathy with glycogen storage and lysosomal activity. A diagnosis of late onset GSD Type II was considered. An interesting finding was the presence of round to oval eosinophilic inclusions which reduced on menadione linked a-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (MAG). There are only two reports in the literature describing similar inclusions in late onset GSD II. We report morphological findings of this rare disorder and compare the findings with earlier two reports.
