Background. Dupuytren disease is a fibrosing disorder, which results in slowly progressive thickening and shorting of the palmar fascia leading to debilitating digital contractures, particularly of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints or the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints.upuytren contracture is most commonly observed in persons of Northern European descent and affects 4-6% of Caucasians worldwide. Many individuals have bilateral disease (45%); in unilateral cases, the right side is more often affected.
Making the world better, one answer at a time. One difference between epithelial cells and muscle cells is their location in the human body. Epithelial cells are skin cells on the outside of the body.Muscle cells are located in the muscle under the skin.aking the world better, one answer at a time. One difference between epithelial cells and muscle cells is their location in the human body. Epithelial cells are skin cells on the outside of the body.
Another difference between the muscle cells, is that there are gap junctions in the cardiac cells, and these cells have independent contractions. The skeletal muscle has a common contraction called a synctium (and no gap junctions).owever, their major difference is that the skeletal muscle is controlled by the somatic nervous system, and the cardiac muscles are, by nature, involuntarily controlled. Besides their overall different locations within the body, these two muscles also have many differences in their cellular structures.
