A medical condition involving the abnormal accumulation or loss of the mass or substance of muscle tissue, causing weakness or wasting.
From Greek a- (without) combined with mas (muscle, mass) and the suffix -esis (indicating a pathological condition or process). This Neo-Latin medical term describes a degenerative muscular state.
