The proliferative nodules of Dupuytren's disease are electron microscopically characterized by the occurrence of myofibroblasts with a basal lamina-like material. As reported in the literature, immunohistochemical investigations showed a fibronectin matrix but failed to demonstrate laminin. This discrepancy between electron microscopic features and immunohistochemical findings prompted us to examine the...
