A) Case 1: The arrows delimit an area in which muscle fibers (M) are separated by fibrosis.
The muscle fibers have varying sizes and shapes. There is a focus of inflammatory infiltration of mononuclear cells (arrowhead) and there are adipocytes (A) permeating the muscle (Hematoxylin-eosin staining); B) Case 2: A focus of inflammatory infiltration of mononuclear cells can be observed in the endomysium (arrow) and adipocytes (A) are seen permeating the muscle. C) Case 2: Immunostaining shows CD8-positive lymphocytes permeating the endomysium.

Case 5 - Histological section stained with Hematoxylin & Eosin shows muscle fiber with size variation.
