title: Three cases of allergic dermatitis due to intravesical mitomycin C.
abstract: Irritant contact dermatitis has frequently been described in association with mitomycin instillation into the bladder. Three cases of allergic contact dermatitis in which patch tests demonstrated a type IV hypersensitivity reaction are reported. Patients showing skin reaction during mitomycin C vesical instillation should be patch tested to make a decision whether the drug might be continued (toxic reaction) or discontinued (allergic reaction).
