Dupuytren’s disease (DD) is a heritable, benign, chronic fibroproliferative process which affects the connective tissue of the palmar fascia. DD is rare among Asians with a prevalence of 0.004 to 0.032 percent. There are only 74 cases of DD among Asians identified in literature, and there are no published cases from the Philippines. We discuss a rare case of DD in a 60-year-old male Filipino presenting with bilateral loss of range of motion of the middle, ring, and little finger of both hands.

Amyoplasia is the most common form of arthrogryposis (multiple congenital contracture). It has an
estimated incidence of one in 10,000 live births.
Lower limb-amyoplasia is a specii c subtype with an
estimated incidence of 1 in 75,000 - 100,000 live
births. There are only 85 cases of lower limb amyoplasia identii ed in literature, and there are no published cases from the Philippines. We discuss a rare
case of lower limb amyoplasia in an 11-year-old
Filipino female presenting with additional unique
features of severe scoliosis (managed with spine
correction surgery) and multiple skin dimples in the
gluteal area. The study was performed according to
the CARE guidelines for case reports.
