Abstract
Porphyria is a complex and heterogeneous group of heme synthesis disorder. Hepato-erythropoietic porphyria is a very rare subtype that onsets in childhood, and shows predominant skin involvement. We describe the clinical case of a 5-year-old patient who showed skin lesions and hypertrichosis and whose diagnosis was confirmed due to increased uroporphyrins in urine and UROD gene sequencing.
