Abstract:

Gout with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS) has rarely been reported, whereas mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) with the demonstration of intra-articular monosodium urate crystals has never been reported. We describe an unusual case of MCTD (SLE–PSS) in a 37-year-old woman who developed acute gouty arthritis. Arthrocentesis and synovianalysis may be necessary to differentiate gout from the arthropathy of MCTD.
