Suicide or suicidal intend is a very old procedure, carried out by the human being against himself. We presented the descriptive study of three patients who inoculated themselves kerosene, a domestic combustible, in a suicidal intend, unleashing severe tissue necrosis and acute pulmonary lesion in one of them. In the study it was clear the lack of prevision on the reach of the complications that lately appeared, from the part of the medical staff. We made suggestions for the persons injured for this cause in the future.

Keywords : suicidal intend; kerosene; tissue necrosis.
