We report the case of a 4-year-old girl, who had been suffering for 2 years from a recurrent, painful crisis affecting both hands, following sun exposure. There were no obvious cutaneous lesions, which initially caused us to consider a diagnosis of a psychiatric disorder. However, the diagnosis of erythropoietic protoporphyria was then established by the demonstration of elevated levels of free protoporphyrin in erythrocytes. The present case illustrates the effectiveness of beta-carotene associated with canthaxanthin in erythropoietic protoporphyria.
