Summary

Focal muscular degeneration in two diabetics is described. In both instances the muscular lesion was excised on the grounds of clinical suspicion of tumour. The gross and microscopical pictures agreed with those of muscular degeneration following ischaemia. Accordingly, the vascular lesions that were demonstrated, diabetic microangiopathy and arteriosclerosis, may have been of importance in the pathogenesis.

Résumé

Une dégénérescence musculaire focale a été observée chez deux diabétiques. Dans les deux cas la lésion musculaire a été excisée, une tumeur ayant été considérée possible. L'apparence macroscopique et microscopique était celle d'une dégénérescence musculaire consécutive à une ischémie. Nous avons donc considéré que les lésions vasculaires démontrées, microangiopathie diabétique et artériosclérose, ont probablement contribué à la pathogénèse de ces dégénérescences musculaires.

Zusammenfassung

Bei zwei Diabetikern werden umschriebene muskuläre Degenerationsherde geschildert. In beiden Fällen wurden die krankhaft veränderten Muskelgebiete wegen des klinischen Verdachtes auf Tumor exzidiert. Die makro- und mikroskopischen Befunde waren die gleichen wie bei Muskeldegeneration nach Ischämie. Demnach waren für die Pathogenese möglicherweise die nachgewiesenen Gefäßveränderungen, die diabetische Mikroangiopathie und Arteriosklerose, von Bedeutung.
