Gouty tophi, a rare cause of hand masses, can mimic tumors. This case highlights the importance of considering metabolic conditions like gout in the differential diagnosis of persistent hand pain and masses, even after trauma.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Rheumatology
- Pathology
Background:
- A 26-year-old male presented with a year-long history of pain and a palpable mass in the dorsal aspect of the hand.
- The patient had a history of extensor tenorrhaphy in the affected area 11 years prior.

1.2K
The muscles of the forearm that move the wrist, hand, and digits are numerous and diverse. They can be classified into two groups based on their location and function — the anterior and posterior compartment muscles.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment muscles originate from the humerus. They primarily function as flexors and are also known as flexor muscles. They typically insert on the carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The superficial layer includes the flexor carpi...

The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...
