Abstract

Gout is a monosodium urate crystal deposit disease which generally occurs in middle-aged males and postmenopausal females. It is typically characterized by episodic acute and chronic arthritis, due to deposition of monosodium urate crystals in joints and connective tissue. Palpable deposits of crystals known as tophi may form particularly around joints but also elsewhere. Tophi can present as masses in many different body locations resulting in various clinical problems which are finally understood when the mass is sampled and analyzed. A 60-year-old male chronic tophaceous gout patient admitted to our hospital with complaints of bilateral patellar pain. After clinical, laboratory and radiological assessment, our diagnosis was consistent with patellar involvement of gouty tophi which is rarely seen. In this article, we present the clinical and radiological findings of a patient with bilateral severe patellar pain due to gouty tophi.

Özet

Gut genellikle orta yaşlı erkeklerde ve postmenopozal kadınlarda gelişen, monosodyum ürat kristallerinin birikmesi hastalığıdır. Tipik olarak monosodyum ürat kristallerinin eklemlerde ve bağ dokuda birikmesinden kaynaklanan epizodik akut ve kronik artrit ile karakterizedir. Tofüsler olarak bilinen, ele gelen kristal birikimleri özellikle eklemlerin etrafında oluşabilse de başka yerlerde de oluşabilir. Tofüsler vücudun pek çok farklı yerinde kitle olarak ortaya çıkarak kitle örneklenip analiz edildikten sonra ancak anlaşılabilen çeşitli klinik sorunlara yol açar. Altmış yaşında bir erkek kronik tofüslü gut hastası iki taraflı diz ağrısı yakınmaları ile kliniğimize başvurdu. Klinik, laboratuvar ve radyolojik değerlendirmeden sonra, tanımız nadir görülen, gut tofüslerinin patellar tutulumu ile uyumlu idi. Bu yazıda, gut tofüslerinden kaynaklanan iki taraflı şiddetli diz ağrısı olan bir hastanın klinik ve radyolojik bulguları sunuldu.
