| Abstract: | A patient known with acute intermittent porphyria who developed primary liver-cell carcinoma is described. No other risk factors were found. A possible association of acute intermittent porphyria with the development of primary liver-cell carcinoma has been suggested in recent, mainly Scandinavian literature. So far this association has never been described in The Netherlands. |
