Kiesselbach’s area nasal septal gouty tophus with an integrated “3 + 2” diagnostic algorithm: a case report
This case highlights the importance of considering gouty tophus in atypical nasal masses, especially in patients with gout history. Dual-energy computed tomography is a valuable diagnostic tool. We propose a practical "3 + 2" diagnostic algorithm to aid early recognition, although further validation in larger series is needed.
