An Bras Dermatol. 2014 Jul-Aug;89(4):689-91. doi: 10.1590/abd1806-4841.20142969.

Abstract

Porphyria cutanea tarda is prevalent in connective tissue disease, common in systemic lupus erythematosus. However, the co-existence of primary sjogren's syndrome and porphyria cutanea tarda is rare and poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We report a case of porphyria cutanea tarda associated with primary sjogren's syndrome.
