A case of articular and visceral gout is reported in Egyptian vulture (Neophron percnopterus). The vulture was suffering from lameness and died after living more than 40 years in captivity. Urate crystals in the periarticular tissue and kidney were found. The presence of semi-fluid chalky-white granular substance in the swollen hock joints were confirmed by De Galantha's stain as urate crystals.
