Challenges in the pathological diagnosis of erythropoietic protoporphyria: a case report
This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of EPP and the importance of integrating clinical history, histopathology, and genetic testing. Polarized light microscopy is crucial for identifying the characteristic features of EPP. Early genetic testing can guide timely diagnosis and treatment, contributing to the understanding of this rare condition.
