Abstract |
We present a clinical study and muscle biopsy of a 13-year-old female who suffered hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, hepatosplenomegaly and myopathy of prolonged evolution. The muscle biopsy showed a glycogenosis with deposits of amylopectin-like material. Differential diagnosis was made with basophilic degeneration of the myocardium, and with " polyglucosan bodies disease." In the existing literature we found only one case of juvenile amylopectinosis, and another four adult cases.
