ABSTRACT
Pseudoporphyria is an uncommon bullous disease with similar clinical and histopathological findings to porphyria cutanea tarda, in the absence of detectable porphyrin elevation. We present a 34-year-old man with clinical and histological findings compatible with porphyria cutanea tarda, whose urinary uroporphyrin was negative and we concluded that he was a case of pseudoporphyria. Concomitant active infection with hepatitis C virus was a unique finding in this patient
