title: [Hepatocellular carcinoma associated to porphyria cutanea tarda and hepatitis C virus infection without cirrhosis].
abstract: The molecular basis of porphyria cutanea tarda is defective activity of hepatic uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase. A common characteristic is liver 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 finally develops to hepatocellular carcinoma without previous cirrhosis. Previous studies with association of PCT and hepatitis C virus markers, have found liver diseases ranging from cirrhosis to hepatocellular carcinoma. The importance of this study is the absence of cirrhosis.
