Figure 1 Deforming gouty arthritis is evident in a 39-year-old woman who has had anorexia nervosa since the age of 15. Attacks of acute arthritis began at the age of 23; crystals of monosodium urate monohydrate were found in the joints during those attacks. The multiple cutaneous nodules on the distal aspect of the index finger are tophaceous deposits of monosodium urate crystals. Tophi first appeared when the patient was 24.
