- Abstract
The article presents a case report of a 52-year-old female patient with a history of hereditary spherocytosis (HS) with splenectomy and was diagnosed with porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT). Further medical examinations revealed spherocytes and Jolly's bodies on the blood film, thrombocytosis, decreased haptoglobin, hemolysis, hyperferritemia and elevated transferrin saturation. A comparison of triggering factors between sporadic and familial PCT is offered.
