The porphyrias are metabolic disorders caused by altered activity of enzymes in the heme biosynthetic pathway. Porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) is the most common subtype, with a prevalence of about 1 in 10,000 people,1 and is due to deficient activity of uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase (UROD), the fifth enzyme in the heme biosynthetic pathway. Cutaneous findings are common and include photosensiti...
