Gout is one of the most common inflammatory arthritis in adults. This disorder is caused by the accumulation of monosodium urate crystals in soft tissues and joints because of the hyperuricemia. One of the lower extremity joint especially the first metatarsophalangeal joint is affected by more than 75% of the gout attacks. In this study, we reported a rare presentation of gout disease, the acute gout attack of the wrist, in a woman, 72 years aged, who has not been diagnosed before. Gout which occurs with the involvement of the wrist is very rare and no other cases with distal ulna localization have been reported according to our knowledge. We reported the first case of gout disease which started from distal ulna. The patient was operated because the symptoms did not recover with conservative treatments.

Gouty tophi occur in appr. 50-60% of patients suffering from gout. Their occurrence is related to severity of the disease and effectiveness of its treatment. They develop more frequently in patients with long lasting and poorly controlled disease. The results of surgical treatment of gouty tophi in the extremities in 14 patients, 13 men and one woman, at a mean age of 51 years are presented. Twelve patients had tophi localized in the upper extremities, whereas 3 had tophi in the lower limbs (one patients had upper and lower extremity involved). Duration of the disease to the operation was a mean of 8 years. Seven patients received excision of a single tophus, and remaining had 3-15 operations performed due to multiply tophi, over a period from 3 months to 2 years. Outcomes of the treatment was assessed at a mean of 3 years (range 2-8) after the last operation in a form of a phone interview. Results. All patients declared satisfaction from the result of the treatment. No case of complication or recurrence of the tumour was noted. The results of this study confirm usefulness of surgical treatment of this form of the gout.
