Gout is a common metabolic disorder, typically diagnosed in peripheral joints.
Tophaceous deposits in lumbar spine are a very rare condition with very few cases
reported in literature. The following is a case report of a 52-year-old patient
with low back pain, left leg pain, and numbness. Serum uric acid level was in
normal range. magnetic resonance imaging, bone scan, and gallium-67 images
suggested an inflammatory-infectious process focus at L4. After a decompressive
laminectomy at L4-L5 level, histological examination showed a chalky material
with extensive deposition of amorphous gouty material surrounded by macrophages
and foreign-body giant cells (tophaceous deposits).
