Christopher J. Cold, MD, Thomas L. Sell, MD and Kurt D. Reed, MD

Marshfield Clinic, Marshfield,Wisconsin

Abstract

A female, 62 years of age, was hospitalized with respiratory failure, mental status changes, and profound muscle weakness. She had been treated recently with methotrexate and steroids for pseudo-tumor cerebri and sero-negative arthritis. A CT scan of the head revealed multiple small enhancing lesions. The photos shown here include a hematoxylin and eosin stained section and transmission electron microscopy of the patient’s muscle biopsy.

Key Words: Biopsy • Muscles • Pseudotumor cerebri • Arthritis • Muscle weakness • Respiratory insufficiency • X-ray computed tomography • Transmission electron microscopy


What is your diagnosis?

The Aperture, like the opening in the lens of a microscope that allows light to pass through, is a forum for art, humor, and images that provides a portal for new or different views of medicine and research.
