Gouty panniculitis is a rare cutaneous illness characterized by the deposition of subcutaneous mono-sodium urate crystals with lobular panniculitis. Only a small number of cases with gouty panniculitis have been reported in the literature with unclear pathogenesis. In this article, we present a case of disseminated gouty panniculitis in the patient who had never been diagnosed of gout but revealed significant hyperuricemia at the time of diagnosis.
