Abstract 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.
