Abstract
Chronic tophaceous gout has become less common since the introduction of allopurinol and probenecid. Cardiac tophi have rarely been reported. In this article, we report a case of severe mitral stenosis in which valvular tophi played a major role in the pathogenesis. The case was well substantiated by echocardiography, surgical pathology, and chemical analysis.Entities:
