Abstract :
A 37-year-old man presented with multiple blisters and ulcerations over the sun exposed skin of 2 years duration. His clinical, radiological, hematological features, fluorescent microscopy of urine and histopathology of subepidermal blister with PAS-positive material deposited in the upper dermis in a perivascular and periadnexal distribution were suggestive of congenital erythropoietic porphyria, was treated with beta carotene and advised to avoid sun exposure by using sun protective clothing. We repot this case because of its rarity
