A Rare Case of Lateral Canthal Gouty Tophus Presenting as an Eyelid Mass

الملخص EN

A 41-year-old man with a history of gout presented with an enlarging eyelid growth.

Clinical examination revealed a mildly indurated nodule at the lateral canthus.

Following resection, histopathological examination revealed needle-shaped, crystalline material surrounded by multinucleated giant cells, findings consistent with gouty tophus.

This represents just the sixth case of gouty tophus of the eyelid reported in the literature.
