ABSTRACT
The vacuole in muscle fibers is a non-specific myopathological change. As a myopathological term, it occurs in several rare disorders. The vacuoles are mostly related to the autophagy of glycogen, lipids, abnormal proteins, and organelles, and a few are caused by glycogen or lipids deposition or sarcoplasmic reticulum luminal vacuolization. The vacuoles impair the structure of muscle fibers, being one of the myopathological features in various diseases. In this review, clinical features and myopathological changes of various diseases with vacuolar muscle fibers were introduced and the diagnostic value of intrafibral vacuoles was focused on. Knowing the underlying pathogenesis is required to understand these myopathological changes.
