  • Snapshot
    • A 60-year-old man presents to his physician for palmar contractures. He reports that his hand appears "deformed" and denies any pain. His past medical history is significant for alcoholic cirrhosis. Physical exam reveals thickened skin on his palms, contractures of his fourth and fifth fingers bilaterally, and several non-tender palmar nodules. He is counseled on this condition and he opts to try injected collagenase.
  • Complications
    • Limited function of the affected hand(s)
  • Prognosis
    • Typically progressive in severity
    • 10% of cases will spontaneously resolve
    • Recurrence after treatment is high
