title: Tophaceous gout of the patella with primary hyperparathyroidism.
abstract: The case of an 81-year-old woman with persistent post-traumatic pain of the knee linked to tophaceous gout of the patella is presented. This gout was associated with adenomatous primary hyperparathyroidism. The relationship between hyperuricemia, hyperparathyroidism and chronic renal failure is discussed.
