ABSTRACT

Gout is a rheumatic, inflammatory disease that is generated by the deposition of monosodium urate crystals at the joint level. Two forms can be distinguished in its clinical evolution: the acute phase characterized by an acute monoarticular inflammatory process of great sensitivity, and the chronic or maintenance phase where the fundamental element is the presence of accumulations of monosodium urate crystals called gouty tophi. These occur more frequently on the back of the fingers, at the joint level and in the auricle. This paper presents the case of a 47-year-old male patient, diagnosed with gout for 5 years and with irregular treatment, who presented gouty tophi in infrequent locations that limit the patient's functional capacity. The case is presented considering it important for the medical community; especially health professionals caring for patients with gouty arthropathy.
