Porphyria cutanea tarda is a disorder of porphyrin metabolism that results from a deficiency of uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase, resulting in a characteristic pattern of porphyrin excretion. Elevated serum iron values are frequently observed among patients with porphyria cutanea tarda. The hypothesis has been advanced that a hemochromatosis allele is implicated in the clinical manifestation of porphyria cutanea tarda. We report the case of a patient suffering from both idiopathic hemochromatosis and porphyria cutanea tarda. The data of the medical literature concerning such an association are discussed.
