Although Dupuytren’s disease of the hand has been reported in teenagers, it is generally considered to be a disease of adults. A series of nine children who developed Dupuytren’s disease of the hand before the age of 13 years is presented. Eight had surgical removal of the diseased tissue and histological confirmation of the diagnosis before the age of 13 years and one at 14 years of age. The presence of the condition in young children and teenagers is discussed and the literature summarized.
