RESUMEN
Congenital erythropoietic porphyria (CEP), or Gunther disease, is a rare genetic disease responsible for severe dermatologic, hepatic and/or haematological damages related to the deficient activity of the uroporphyrinogen III synthase. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (Allo-SCT) represents the only curative treatment and few allotransplanted cases have been reported in children but not in adults. Here we report for the first time the successful cure of a 46-year old man with CEP with a 5-year follow-up after Allo-SCT.
