OBJECTIVES: To describe a novel subtype of autoimmune myopathy, immune-mediated megaconial myopathy (IMMM), myopathologically characterized by giant mitochondria (megaconia).
METHODS: In this case series, we reviewed the Mayo Clinic Muscle Pathology database, between 2018 and 2023, to identify patients with megaconial pathology, subacute progressive weakness, and hyperCKemia, clinically resembling myositis. We recruited 1 patient from another institute, who had similar clinicopathologic features.
RESULTS: Five patients were identified. Age at onset of weakness ranged from 19 to 45.5 years. All patients had proximal weakness, elevated creatine kinase levels (1,214 to 5,920 U/L), negative myositis antibodies, necrotizing myopathology, and nonnecrotic myofibers harboring giant mitochondria. Immunohistochemical studies conducted in 4 patients showed sarcolemmal MHC-1 and C5b9 immunoreactivities. Megaconial pathology was considered pathognomonic of congenital muscular dystrophy due to biallelic pathogenic variants in CHKB. Sequencing of CHKB in 4/5 patients was unrevealing. Immunomodulatory therapy improved weakness and hyperCKemia in 4 treated patients. Of interest, all patients had coexisting pancreatic diseases (3 cystic fibrosis-related exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, 1 pancreatic cancer, and 1 pancreatitis).
DISCUSSION: In addition to incurable CHKB-congenital muscular dystrophy, giant mitochondria can also occur in this new subtype of treatable autoimmune myopathy, IMMM. The association between IMMM and pancreatic disorders remains to be elucidated.
