ABSTRACT
Periarticular nodules may not be recognized as tophi because the clinical diagnosis of gout in many instances is not straightforward. In such a setting, fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) of gouty tophi would facilitate the clinical diagnosis and treatment. FNAC is valuable in confirming the nature of periarticular nodules especially in case of gouty tophi as compared to the histopathology. Thus FNAC is the gold standard for the diagnosis of gouty tophi presenting as periarticular nodules.
