We report the case of a 23-year-old male presenting with carpal tunnel syndrome and a swelling over the flexor surface of the wrist. MRI findings were initially suggestive of a median nerve schwannoma but sonography (US) showed a heterogenous mass infiltrating the flexor tendons of the fingers and displacing the median nerve in the carpal tunnel. US findings were confirmed by surgical exploration, which revealed a gouty tophus of the flexor tendons of the fingers at the wrist with secondary median nerve displacement and compression.
