abstract：:We present a case in which a primary diagnosis of gout was made by fine-needle aspiration. The patient had a right distal ulnar mass, and the initial clinical and radiological diagnoses were that of giant cell tumor of tendon sheath. While tophi are the hallmark of gout, they rarely undergo aspiration because of the k...
