The tissue from 38 patients with Dupuytren's contracture was submitted for light and electron microscopy. The clinical and pathological data were correlated so that three stages of disease were recognized: early, active, and advanced. The cell of early disease was the perivascular fibroblast; whereas, the cell of active disease was the myofibroblast. Because the myofibroblasts have cell-to-cell and cell-to-stroma attachments, the collagen not only becomes oriented as it is formed, but it also is subjected to a contractile force.
