The contractile nature of wound healing tissue is a well recognized phenomenon (11). However, the tissue contraction has not been adequately explained on a cellular or tissue basis. Several reports have implied that molecular rearrangements of passive dermal components of the tissue (ie, collagen, elastin, etc.) may be responsible for the contraction (15, 16) while others have ascribed this phenomenon to cellular activity and/or tissue swelling (2).Majno et al.(14) first reported the presence of contractile fibroblasts (myofibroblasts) in wound healing tis-sues of several animal models. These cells have also been observed in a variety of human tissues including: granulation tissues (17), the aponeurotic nodules of Dupuytren's disease (5), pulmonary alveolar septa (8), and hypertrophic scars (3). In the following case study, the incidence and correlation of myofibroblasts with the contractile features of the tissues were so profound that we feel these cells must be solely implicated as the loci of tissue (scar) contraction. Although all of the micrographs were taken from this single case, their ultrastructural features and their implications are similar to those in other burned patients we have studied.
