Abstract
Two cases are presented of calcification within Dupuytren’s tissue. Histological appearances of the tissue showed both cartilaginous and osseous metaplasia. This indicates that fibroblasts in Dupuytren’s Disease may undergo this type of metaplasia in a similar fashion to fibroblasts elsewhere.
