Inclusion Body Myositis
The coexistence of ring fibres, rimmed vacuoles and inclusion-body myositis-type inclusions in a child with congenital myopathy has not been previously reported.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Labs including CBC, CMP, ANA, ESR, CRP, and TSH were normal. Serum creatine kinase was 6,500.[n.neurology.org]
She was exercising daily to increase muscle strength, despite an increased asthenia and difficulties in climbing and descending stairs, and she had some problems in swallowing[karger.com]

Oculo-Pharyngo-Distal Myopathy
Muscular dystrophy changes with rimmed vacuoles were the main histopathological changes.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Thus, asthenia is not a myopathy.[clinicalgate.com]
Myopathological findings showed rimmed vacuoles with varying degrees of muscular dystrophic changes.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy
Rimmed vacuoles (RV) are a characteristic pathological feature in inclusion body myositis, but may also occur in other neuromuscular disorders, such as distal myopathies,[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Creatine kinase was slightly increased, electromyogram and muscle biopsy were myopathic.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Muscle biopsies revealed numerous rimmed vacuoles and filamentous cytoplasmic inclusions in all cases.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

These muscles have vacuoles, often seen in lipid storage diseases, but here described as containing “amorphous debris”.[periodicparalysis.org]
Steroid Myopathy
Serum CK levels may be elevated, and a muscle biopsy may demonstrate degenerating fibers, some with vacuoles.[frontiersin.org]
On the other hand, in chronic SM the serum levels of creatine kinase are normal but the urine creatinine clearance increases dramatically and can even appear several days[symptoma.com]
