Although gout is a common disease, patients with tophi are infrequently clinically examined. In this case report, a 40-year-old man presented with multiple nodules in both soles. The nodules, gouty tophus, were diagnosed following pathological examination, and multiple gouty tophi in both soles is a rare condition. The take-home message is that subcutaneous nodular lesions in soles need to be considered during evaluation.

Gout nodules (tophi) are formed by a chronic inflammatory reaction in tissues resulting in deposition of urate crystals. They are commonly seen in joints and surrounding tissues, subcutaneous tissues, as well as the pinna and kidney, and are characteristic manifestations of gout. Vocal cord tophi are rarely reported in the literature, and patients often present with hoarseness, progressive dysphagia, and other symptoms. We report a case of a vocal cord mass found by gastroscopy in a patient with a history of gout for more than 20 years. Postoperative pathological findings were vocal cord tophi. Tophi can have serious consequences and should be included in the differential diagnosis of laryngeal masses in patients with a history of gout. Therapy should involve a combination of systemic uric acid-lowering treatment and surgery to improve symptoms and reduce recurrence.
