Case Discussion
Findings of x rays are characteristic of tophaceous gout.
The typical appearance of gout on x ray evaluation is the presence of well-defined “punched-out” erosions with sclerotic margins in a marginal and juxta-articular distribution, with overhanging edges. Tophi are pathognomonic feature of gout.
