Abstract

Dupuytren's disease in blacks is believed to be rare. Our recent experience with the disease at the John Cochran Veterans Administration Hospital in St Louis is described, including 2 black patients suffering from the condition. The literature is reviewed and some aspects of pathogenesis are discussed. It is our belief that Dupuytren's disease is more common in blacks than previously reported.

摘要

人们认为，黑人患掌腱膜挛缩症的情况较为罕见。本文描述了我们最近在圣路易斯约翰·科克伦退伍军人管理局医院对该病的诊疗经验，包括2例患有此病的黑人患者。同时对相关文献进行了综述，并讨论了发病机制的一些方面。我们认为，掌腱膜挛缩症在黑人中的发病率比之前报道的要高。
