The diagnostic value of axilla skin biopsy has been investigated in a patient with adult polyglucosan body disease. The biopsy data have been compared with those of control subjects and with those from previously reported patients with Lafora's disease. In a patient with adult polyglucosan body disease and in patients with Lafora's disease, an abundance of polyglucosan bodies was found in the myoepithelial cells of the axillary apocrine glands. In the control group of subjects, polyglucosan bodies were only sporadically seen. Axilla skin biopsy is, therefore, an easy and reliable method for confirming the diagnosis of adult polyglucosan body disease.
对一名成年型多聚葡萄糖体病患者进行了腋窝皮肤活检的诊断价值研究。将活检数据与对照受试者的数据以及先前报道的拉福拉病患者的数据进行了比较。在一名成年型多聚葡萄糖体病患者和拉福拉病患者中,在腋窝顶泌汗腺的肌上皮细胞中发现了大量多聚葡萄糖体。在对照组受试者中,仅偶尔可见多聚葡萄糖体。因此,腋窝皮肤活检是确诊成年型多聚葡萄糖体病的一种简便可靠的方法。
