Core Tip

Core Tip: This study reports three novel findings, which may contribute to the existing literature. First, there was an uncommon lesion in an area that was different from the usual site of a gout attack. Second, the gout attack was severe enough to cause compartment syndrome. Third, it was a very rare case involving the flexor and extensor tendons. The successful management of elderly patients highlights the importance of prompt recognition, interdisciplinary collaboration, and tailored treatment strategies for optimal patient outcomes.
