Abstracts

EN

Dupuytren’s disease is typically observed in adults, in children and adolescents being rarely diagnosed. Only several cases were reported in children under the age of 10 years, including two infants under one year. There were no such reports in Polish literature. We presented a case of Dupuytren’s disease in a 17 year-old adolescent, in whom the first signs of the disease were observed in early childhood.
