The Authors describe the case of a 44 year-old man whose familial and personal histories were negative for muscular diseases. The patient complained slowly progressive wasting and weakness localized to the quadriceps muscles. The bioptic study of the gastrocnemius and the quadriceps showed dystrophic changes, confirming that muscular dystrophy closely localized to quadriceps is of rare occurrence. Muscles other than quadriceps can often be involved by the same pathology even if the clinical signs continue to be localized to the quadriceps muscles for many years.
作者描述了一名44岁男性的病例，其家族史和个人史均无肌肉疾病。患者主诉股四头肌出现缓慢进展的萎缩和无力。对腓肠肌和股四头肌进行活检研究显示有营养不良性改变，证实局限于股四头肌的肌营养不良症很少见。即使临床症状多年来一直局限于股四头肌，同一病理过程也常累及股四头肌以外的肌肉。
