A Tennis Elbow, A First Presentation of Gout Disease.

Abstract

Gout is a common disease, which affects more than 8 million of patients in the US alone. Typically, gout present as articular surfaces are well described in literature. However, the extra articular manifestations are being increasingly reported in the last few years. The extra-articular manifestations of gout disease can present in several ways, including tenosynovitis, and most commonly affecting the lower limb. Here in, the authors are going to present a rare case of recurrent tennis elbow episodes. The only clinical explanation of this novel presentation was presence of high serum uric acid levels.
