Disseminated Cutaneous Gout Presented as Multiple Nodules

Abstract

Cutaneous gout commonly presents on the ears, olecranon, and around the joints as firm dermal or subcutaneous nodules (called tophi), and occurs several years after the onset of gouty arthritis1. Disseminated cutaneous gout is an uncommon cutaneous manifestation of gout in which tophi develop at extra-articular body sites2. It has been rarely reported in Korean dermatological literature. Herein, we present a rare case of disseminated cutaneous gout in a patient with chronic tophaceous gout and chronic kidney disease.
