    Abstract:
    We report on the first case of X-linked recessive myotubular myopathy (MTM1) coinciding with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The muscle biopsy specimens of the patient show only the characteristic findings of MTM1, without the findings of DMD. We theorize that this was caused by the muscle fiber immaturity and inactivity.
