    Summary

    Early-onset gout can manifest with significant radiographic abnormalities in young individuals. These changes include soft-tissue masses, calcifications, and erosions, particularly in the hands and feet.

    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology
    • Orthopedics
    • Genetics

    Background:

    • Gouty arthritis, typically a disease of middle-aged men, can present in childhood.
    • Early-onset gout is rare and may be associated with other conditions.

    Observation:

    • This study presents five cases of early-onset gouty arthritis with radiographic evidence in the first two decades of life.
    • Three patients had primary gout, while two had associated conditions including mental retardation, hypothyroidism, and psoriasis.

    Findings:

    • Radiographic findings included soft-tissue masses, calcification, and typical erosive abnormalities.
    • The hands and feet were commonly affected, and sacroiliac joints were abnormal in two patients.

    Implications:

    • Early-onset gout can have distinct radiographic features requiring careful diagnosis.
    • Understanding these features is crucial for timely intervention and management in pediatric and young adult populations.
