Résumé
Gout is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperuricemia and deposition of monosodium urate crystals in the joint spaces and other extraarticular locations. We report the case of a 40-year-old male who presented for consultation regarding gouty tophi on the phallus, an unusual location for tophi deposition, which was resolved with surgical removal. We provide a brief review of the pathophysiology of gout and its treatment modalities, both medical and surgical.
