Dupuytren Spectrum Diseases?
Hi! I use the umbrella term Dupuytren disease to encompass Dupuytren contracture, Ledderhose disease, Garrod pads, and Peyronie disease. Is there a more accurate or common name for this group of health conditions, such as Dupuytren Spectrum Diseases? I am currently scripting a short stop-motion film about what it was like being diagnosed and living with Dupuytren disease under the age of 20 years and would appreciate insights on the previous question to ensure the accuracy of the script. Thank you!
Rebecca :) Diagnosed at 19/Female/Family History of Dupuytren

Re: Dupuytren Spectrum Diseases?
Hi Well they are examples of fibrosis or fibrotic conditions, so there are other examples occurring in other parts of the body, such as heart, liver, lungs, skin, etc. Have a look at 'fibrosis' on wikipedia. Best
