We report on ten patients from the Indian sub-continent operated on in our unit for Dupuytren's contracture. Their presentation, operative findings and subsequent course was indistinguishable from Caucasian patients. We believe that Dupuytren's disease among Indians is not so rare as previously thought.
SUMMARY
The ultrastructural features of two cases of porokeratosis of Mibelli are described. They demonstrate that the basophilic granular material in the cornoid lamella consists of whole degenerate cells with pyknotic nuclei. The dermis contains clumps of a finely fibrillar material and some collagen, and many fibroblasts show degenerative changes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
