Mitochondria damaged, swollen, characterized by light matrix and significant loss of mitochondrial cristae or completely devoid of mitochondrial cristae. Fat droplets were observed. Muscle fibers of very small diameter and one centrally located cell nucleus werepresent in the biopsy. Numerous lymphoid cells were visible around the vessel.
