Hands, but related: to a genetic familial disease, that is a progressive thickening of the fascia, a tough fibrous layer of tissue in the palm, Dupuytrens starts as nodules and can progress to cords causing joint contracture in the hand. http://handctr.com/dupuytrens-disease-faq.html In the foot is called Lederhoes and in the Penis Peyronies, but those are not in the hand. Only the hand is actually called dupuytren
