Common cause: Dupuytren`s contractures, peyronies disease and foot contractures can occur in the same person or separately. The exact cause is not known but risk factors are male sex, family history, northern European descent, diabetes, and tobacco and alcohol use.

No: they are both types of fibromatosis and you could have both at the same time but one doesnt cause the other to appear

No: They are both fibromatoses and have the same genetic basis. Ledderhose Disease (lumps on the bottom of the feet) is the 3rd related problem.

No: Both peyronie's disease and dupuytren's contracture are contractile issues with regard to fascia of the penis or palm respectively. They are both components of dupuytrens diathesis but one does not cause the other.
