  • Title: [Pulmonary fibrosis following instillation of mitomycin C in the urinary bladder].
    Author: Neubauer H, Blech M, Wilhelms E, Crieé CP, Neuhaus KL, Truss F.
    Journal: Urologe A; 1987 Jan; 26(1):41-3. PubMed ID: 3107190.
    Abstract:
    Intravesical prophylaxis against recurrence of bladder carcinomas using mitomycin C has proved to be an effective treatment with few side effects. No side effects involving the lungs have so far been observed with systemic administration; with intravesical use, however, this is not the case. We report a 32-year-old man in whom pulmonary interstitial fibrosis occurred after intravesical instillation of mitomycin C. The clinical picture, including the therapy, and the differential diagnosis and practical consequences are all discussed.
