title: Dupuytren's contracture after burns of the upper extremity.
abstract: A case of Dupuytren's contracture in a patient with previous history of burns of the upper extremity is reported. Because this patient has no predisposition to the disease, burns of the upper extremity should be considered as a trigger to the onset of the disease.
