Introduction: as this is an infrequent association, the present study intends to report a case of a patient diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus associated with porphyria cutanea tarda and its clinical implications.Clinical case: patient referred to a rheumatologist due to high ANA titers presented clinical signs of hypertrichosis, acne, skin scars and blisters.Discussion and review of the literature: both pathologies can manifest themselves through blisters and photosensitivity, requiring diagnostic confirmation through laboratory tests and joint management for their treatment.Final considerations: even though the association between pathologies is rare, it is extremely important to know their clinical association and joint management, avoiding complications such as hepatotoxicity.
