On doit rechercher à l\'examen la présence de tophus, c\'est à dire de dépôts sous-cutanés d\'acide urique, souvent localisés au niveau des articulations, du pavillon de l\'oreille, à la face d\'extension du coude et au niveau du tendon d\'achille.

Le tophus goutteux est l\'accumulation dans le tissu interstitiel de cristaux d\'urate de calcium.
Il s\'y associe généralement une hyperuricémie. Les facteurs de risque sont l\'obésité et l\'alimentation.

Syn.
concrétion tophacée n. f.

Déf. :
Concrétion d'urate de sodium, due à une altération métabolique des bases puriques, qui se dépose autour des articulations (pieds, mains, coudes, genoux) ainsi que dans le tissu sous-cutané (pavillon de l'oreille) et qui est parfois observée chez les personnes souffrant de goutte.
