Résumé

We present a case of a rare inherited disorder - erythropoietic protoporphyria - with typical clinical manifestations. The diagnosis was suspected on the basis of a history of a light-sensitive rash and characteristic liver biopsy, and confirmed with genetic testing. The patient was followed up for more than 20 years, and ultimately developed the uncommon associated complication of liver cirrhosis. The clinical features, pathogenesis and management of erythropoietic protoporphyria are discussed herein

Résumé

We report the case of a 73-year-old man who presented with an asymptomatic hepatic mass during investigation of mild chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by a plain chest radiograph, followed by ultrasonography, which revealed a solitary hepatic lesion measuring 7.1 cm x 6.5 cm x 5.8 cm in dimension. Fine- needle aspiration of the mass revealed malignant cells compatible with hepatocellular carcinoma. Interestingly, the patient had a left adrenalectomy and complete left nephrectomy in 1987, for a non-functioning left adrenocortical carcinoma [ACC]. The ACC was diagnosed as stage two, with no evidence of local invasion or distant metastases. No adjuvant therapy was recommended postoperatively. After a five-year follow-up, there was no evidence of ACC recurrence and the patient was declared cured from his ACC. The patient underwent a complete segmental resection of the right lobe of the liver successfully. The final diagnosis of the mass was a well-differentiated metastatic adrenocortical carcinoma
