Abstract:
A 45-year-old man with severe gout was admitted to the hospital because of Staphylococcus aureus septicemia. He had also a biclonal dysglobulinemia, without signs of myeloma. An asymptomatic lytic lesion of the left pedicle of L5 was discovered on radiographs. Histologic examination of the biopsied lesion showed typical tophaceous gout.
