I received more on the path report... I think the final.
"Final Diagnosis: Skeletal tissue with rare atrophic myofibers. Reactive Chages in epimysial tissue, focal, chronic.
Comments: The muscle biopsy specimen shows three COX-deficient fibers. This abnormality raises the possibility of a mitochondrial disorder although the COX-deficient fibers are rare and may not be significant clinically. In addition, the epimysial fat show focal reactive changes. The cause of this abnormality is not clear based on the pathological examination, but may be related to a monor injury to the area in the past."
