Abstract
Dupuytren’s disease (DD) is a rare entity in the pediatric population, especially in children younger than 10 years of age. We report the case of a 6-year-old boy with contracture and a left-hand nodule that was excised and histologically confirmed to be Dupuytren’s. Although there are several causes of flexion contracture of the fingers in children, delayed diagnosis of DD can result in debilitating disease and therefore should be an early consideration when evaluating children with suspicious physical exam findings with or without symptomatic contracture, especially in the setting of a strong family history. Keywords: Contracture, Dupuytren’s Disease, Palmar Fibromatosis
