While Morton’s neuroma is the most common cause of this presentation, this case illustrates that other pseudotumoral lesions, such as a gouty tophus, may present similarly, and should be considered in the differential diagnosis. [cureus.com]

• Joint Deformity

  Complications include bone destruction, joint deformities, and, as in the present case, secondary infections. Diagnosis can be made on clinical grounds and confirmed with the visualization of uric acid crystals under light microscopy. [jaoa.org]

  Overview Chronic symptoms such as joint deformity and limitation of motion in affected joints may occur if several attacks of gout occur each year. Uric acid deposits called tophi develop in cartilage tissue, tendons, and soft tissues. [medlineplus.gov]

  Your doctor should only suggest surgery if your case is extreme — for instance, your tophi have become infected, are causing major joint deformity or severe pain, or are compressing crucial nerves in your body (such as nerves in your spinal cord). [creakyjoints.org]

  With longstanding tophaceous deposits, bone erosion occurs, and arthritis sets in which causes joint deformities. Acute attacks of gout cause intense pain, redness and swelling. [epmonthly.com]

  Clinical cutaneous manifestations of chronic gout are now rarely observed. However, the presence of degenerative tissues, as in idiopathic osteoarthritis of the fingers, may predispose to the deposition of urate crystals. [link.springer.com]

  The cutaneous manifestations of gout are represented by intradermal lesions or subcutaneous nodules called tophi, commonly seen in avascular tissue over the ears, olecranon and prepatellar bursae or in acral sites, often associated with tendons. [cureus.com]
