Core Tip A rare cause of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is tophaceous gout. This report represents the first case, to our knowledge, of a patient presenting with typical CTS symptoms, yet lacking any visible or palpable signs of gout in any part of his body. Only after magnetic resonance imaging, surgical inspection, and pathological analysis was it clear that the 25-year-old patient had a large gouty tophus attached to the surface of the distal volar radius adjacent to the digital flexor tendons. Surgical removal of the “covert” tophi and decompression of the median nerve is an effective option for eliminating CTS symptoms.
