Abstract
Intravesical instillation of formalin in a patient with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder and radiation cystitis was followed by acute renal failure due to acute tubular necrosis. Formic acid, which is a metabolic product of formalin, has been postulated as the pathogenetic agent responsible for acute tubular necrosis.Keywords
