Abstract

Case: Herein 73 year- old female patient with distal interphalangial (DIP) joint gouty arthritis accompanying nodal OA was presented. There was significant redness and swelling in the joint, joint was warm and tender on palpation and range of motion was very painful. Conclusion: The presentation of acute or subacute arthritis in interphalangial joints of a woman with preexisting nodal OA may obscure the correct diagnosis and coexisting gouty arthritis may be overlooked.
