This case report, describes the gross and histopathological lesions in two desi fowls that were brought for post mortem examination. Necropsy revealed deposition of chalky white material covering the abdominal viscera and heart. Liver was seen enlarged, liver and kidneys had necrotic foci. Histopathologically, kidney revealed typical foreign body granulomas characterised by a central area of necrosis with light bluish uric acid deposits, marginated by giant cells, macrophages, occasional lympho mononuclear cells and a few heterophils. In addition, needle shaped urate crystals were found in liver, kidney and lungs. Based on these gross and histopathological findings it was diagnosed as visceral gout.
