Abstract
The molecular basis of porphyria cutanea tarda is defective activity o f hepatic uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase. A common characteristic is l iver dysfunction than goes from cirrhosis to hepatocellular carcinoma, A high prevalence of hepatitis C virus markers has been demonstrated. We study a patient with PCT and hepatitis C virus markers that finall y develops to hepatocellular carcinoma without previous cirrhosis. Pre vious studies with association of PCT and hepatitis C virus markers, h ave found liver diseases ranging from cirrhosis to hepatocellular carc inoma. The importance of this study is the absence of cirrhosis.
