Dupuytren's and Peyronie's

[Markyj]

I have read that there is an association between the two of these conditions.  Does getting make it really likely you will get the other or is it only a casual correlation at this point?  It seems like there is conflicting information about the link between the two so maybe no one knows enough about it yet but thought maybe someone here would know.  In other words, if you have one do you have to be really careful about not getting the other?

It's something like a 20% correlation...but not a guarantee just more likely.

I have had Dupuytrens for several years. Developed Peyronies Disease last year. Both urologists I've seen mentioned the correlation. I really did not have any other triggering event.

I have Dupuytrens in both hands(mild left moderate right), which is related to Lederhosens disease (plantar fibromatosis) in both feet (moderate left severe right), and Peyronies (severe). They all presented within about a year of each other starting about 3 years ago. About six months ago I developed adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) right side. I read somewhere that it may be related to the other three as well. Trying not to be a whiner, just putting out info. I understand my case is just one case and one case doesn't make a scientific study. However, here is a link that calls it the Dupuytren spectrum.The article states, "Because of their close demographic correlation, these four diseases are likely local manifestations of an underlying systemic disorder which has yet to be identified."

I was never aware of adhesive capsulitis being another link. I also had surgery for that, so I have 3 of the 4.

My wife reminded me today that this my second go-around of adhesive capsulitis. I had it in my left shoulder about 2 years before all this other fibrotic crap started. It resolved on its own in abt 12 months if i recall. I had a stroke in there about that time that helped me forget.
