Porphyria cutanea tarda in a child following multi-agent chemotherapy.

Porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) is a blistering skin disorder that occurs most commonly in middle-aged individuals. It is caused by decreased uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase (UROD) activity, which results in elevated levels of uroporphyrinogen. Occurrence remains very rare in children with some sources quoting as few as 50 reports of childhood cases.
