Abstract

Gouty arthritis is more common in men between 40 and 60 years of age. It is caused by deposition of monosodium urate crystals within joints and tissues after a prolonged period of hyperuricemia. Affects 1% of the adult American population and its prevalence has been increasing by the increase in longevity, and the use of diuretics and acetylsalicylic acid. Gout is considered one of the manifestations of metabolic syndrome. Therefore, it is not uncommon to find some skin manifestations during the course of the disease.
