title: Dupuytren's contracture with associated changes in the plantar aponeuroses and in the auricular conchae.
abstract: The author reports a forty year old man presenting with Dupuytren's contracture affecting both hands, feet and auricular conchae. The patient is epileptic having been treated for twenty eight years with phenobarbitone and phenytoin. He had histologically proven Dupuytren's disease on both hands, but unfortunately no material was available from the ears. The follow up to date suggests that the auricular lesions have progressed slowly.
