Abstract
A 72‐year‐old female with a recent episode of podagra, without peripheral tophi, presented with nocturnal back pain and a destructive lesion of the right lamina of L4. A tophus was excised at laminectomy. Evidence of an axial skeletal tophus causing an irritative radiculopathy via mass effect is presented.Keywords
