Abstract

This work is studying the pathogenic concepts about Dupuytren disease. A lot of theories and assumptions have been put forward around this disease, but none of them could explain the real etiopathogenic conditions. Doctor Chiotan (1999) was saying that if we don't have an objective, integrated concept, it doesn't mean that we don't have ideas, theories. We call this ideology. We want to present, by turn, the tumoral theories about Dupuytren disease, the healing and inflammatory theories, the neurovascular theory, the intrinsic and extrinsic theories.
