Dupuytren Literature: Fat and Hyperlipidemia

The potential relationship between Dupuytren and adipose tissue is interesting for several reasons. Hyperlipidemia is more common in Dupuytren patients. Dupuytren is more common in underweight people, less common in overweight people. Adipokines produced by adipose tissue modulate fibrotic pathways. Palmar Dupuytren disease initially affects the superficial surface of the palmar fascia which is in continuity with subcutaneous fat but not the deep surface which is not. Dupuytren progression in the palm replaces subcutaneous fat superficial to cords with fibrous tissue, often completely, explaining the descriptive term “fibrofatty” Dupuytren tissue. Beneficial effects of subcutaneous fat injection have been reported. There’s a clue there somewhere.
