Summary Günther's disease (erythropoietic porphyria) is described in a 40‐year‐old Sudanese man. Slowly progressive mutilating changes that involve the face, eyes and extremities have occurred. Only mild haematological abnormalities are present accounting for his survival into the fifth decade, which is unusual in this disorder.
