Factitious disorders

Dean S Louis et al. Clin Occup Environ Med. 2006.

Abstract

Factitious disorders reside under the broad umbrella of dysfunctional syndromes. This article is meant specifically to focus on common patterns of upper extremity factitious illness. It is intended to emphasize recognition, differential diagnosis, and problems related to misdiagnosis. It is not devoted to treatment, which is a separate issue.
