摘要

Gout is a metabolic disorder that is characterized by a deposition of monosodium urate crystals in the joint or soft tissue. Gout manifestations in head and neck region are rare, and larynx is an infrequently affected location. We recently managed a case of a gouty tophus over the larynx. A 65-year-old male with a long history of gout without medical control. He has suffered from increasing hoarseness for six months. Laryngoscopy revealed a mass lesion over the right vocal process region without vocal paralysis. Laryngo-micro-surgery biopsy was taken, and pathology confirmed laryngeal gouty tophus without evidence of malignancy.
