Monoarticular acromioclavicular joint gout: a case report.
Acromioclavicular joint gout is extremely rare. The case presented represents the first case of monoarticular acromioclavicular joint gout reported. It is also the first reported case of acromioclavicular joint gout in an immunosuppressed patient. The diagnostic pitfalls inherent in the evaluation of acute monoarticular arthritis in an immunosuppressed patient are illustrated. Furthermore, the case demonstrates one of the atypical presentations of gout that may occur in renal transplant patients taking cyclosporin A.
