摘要
Gout is often considered a disease of an excessive lifestyle, a 'malady of kings'. Today, more than 1% of the European and US populations are afflicted with gout, although ulceration over gout tophi remains uncommon. We describe four cases of ulceration associated with gout tophi to highlight the clinical presentation, complications and a management strategy.
