Another 1960s article on Peyronie's and other "collagen" disorders

This French article from 1964 is the second I've come across discussion combinations of Peyronie's disordr with other disorders of fibrosis ("collagen" in those days): [A COLLAGEN TRIAD: LA PEYRONIE'S DISEASE, DUPUYTRE...[J Urol Nephrol (Paris). 1964]

It's an area of research that died out in the 1960s apparently.

The triad was "PEYRONIE'S DISEASE, DUPUYTREN'S DISEASE AND FIBROSIS OF THE AURICULAR CARTILAGE". I don't know the last, but for what it's worth I used to have odd lumps of fibrous material in my pinnae (soft tissue at base of the auricle) though they've since faded.

It would be interesting to get hold of one of these old, old articles ....
