Abstract |
: |
Gout is a clinical inflammatory syndrome and is a common end
point of a group of disorders that produce hyperuricemia and
subsequent deposition of monosodium urate crystals mainly
within and around joints. In this case report; we are presenting an
unusual case of gout in a young Saudi adult male who presented
clinically with skin lesions in the perianal region. Although gout
is a well known disease which is extensively studied, to our
knowledge, such a presentation has never been reported in the
literature before. A review of literature regarding other unusual
sites of involvement and presentations is included. |
