Dupuytren's contracture, also called Dupuytren's disease, is a hand condition characterized by an abnormal thickening of the tissue just beneath the skin of the palm.
It usually begins with a thickening of the skin in the palm of the hand, which may develop into a hard lump or thick band that eventually could cause the fingers, especially your pinky and ring fingers, to contract or curl into the palm.
