description Paediatric Dupuytren’s disease is a very rare clinical entity. Dupuytren’s disease has preponderance to older males of Celtic heritage. We present a case of Dupuytren’s disease in an eight-year-old boy of Indian ethnicity who presented with a progressive flexion contracture of his right ring finger for a duration of six months. On examination, he had an isolated 60-degree flexion contracture of the proximal interphalangeal joint with thickening of the skin and subcutaneous tissues. This was consistent with Dupuytren’s cord and contracture. He proceeded to theatre for a dermofasciectomy, with subsequent histological confirmation of Dupuytren’s disease. We performed a review of the literature and identified 21 reported cases of Dupuytren’s disease affecting the hand in the paediatric population. This is a rare report of Dupuytren’s disease affecting a child of Indian ethnicity.
