I don't know if the real incidence is actually up to 10% of men, but I'm likely to believe it. Consider that this is the one that is most reported in most recent studies and that peyronie's most known specialists, who deal with larger numbers of patients (e.g. Levine or Lue), usually report this percentage. Besides, if you take a look at older papers, it was generally reported a percentage of spontaneous remission beetwen 8-13%, but I've never read anywhere on the web of this occurence (and there are even older papers where it was claimed that spontaneous remission was up to 50% of the patients!).
I read that OP don't consider Peyronie's to be a disease, but I feel to disagree. I think that this argument is biased by a common misconception: peyronie's disease is not the
plaque; it's rather a localized
inflammation that can lead or not to the developement of
fibrosis. In Europe this condition is more generally called with the latin term "induratio penis plastica" (that means "plastic hardening of the penis") and this can lead to misunderstandings, because it refers to the most likely result of TA's
chronic inflammation and not to the
inflammation itself, which is
fibrosis' cause and, ultimately, the actual disease.
