Objective:
To know the dermatologic side effects of intravesical treatment with Mitomycin C in non muscle invasive bladder cancer.
Methods:
We describe two cases of palm and plantar dermatitis after such treatment.
Result:
We describe two types of dermatitis pathogenesis during treatment with intravesical Mitomycin C: contact dermatitis and delayed hypersensitivity dermatitis.
Conclusions:
Contact dermatitis of non-allergic origin is a common side effect described in many instances in the literature, on the other hand exists dermatitis secondary to delayed hypersensitivity type IV much less common, requiring treatment with corticosteroids.
