This is a photomicrograph of a tophus that was fixed in alcohol prior to histologic processing. The alcohol fixation preserves the water soluble urate crystals within the tissue. Note the urate crystals visible in this photomicrograph (arrows). Also note the chronic inflammatory reaction in the background.

A tophus is a chalky accumulation of urate crystals found in the tissue surrounding a joint.
