title: [Case report: MRI findings in gout].
abstract: MR imaging is not routinely used for the evaluation of tophaceous gout. However, gout may have atypical clinical and radiologic findings. It should be considered in the differential diagnosis when a mass reveals heterogeneous and low signal intensity on T2 weighted images. We present MR imaging characteristics of gout tophi and arthritis in two patients.
