Sternocleidomastoid appearance in Case 1 (A) and Case 2 (B). The taut sternocleidomastoid muscle is also appreciated in older photos taken of Case 2 at the age of 20, 26, 29, and 30 years, clockwise (C). H&E stained slides of muscle of Case 1 showed dense, fibrotic replacement, with collagen deposition containing scattered fibroblast nuclei and entrapped, atrophic skeletal muscle fibers at low (D) and high magnification (E). No inflammation was seen.
