Abstract
Gouty tenosynovitis in the hand is a rare entity. To date the limited cases described have involved predominantly extensor tendons in the fingers and flexor tendons in the palm or wrist. Flexor tendon involvement is less common and has been reported only in five cases to our knowledge distal to the palm. We report a new case of gouty tenosynovitis of flexor tendon in a finger in a patient with advanced rheumatoid arthritis.
