Factitious illness' is a recently classified group of diseases characterized by repeated purposeful simulation of physical or mental illness in order to obtain medical or psychiatric treatment. 'Münchausen Syndrome' is a classical example of this group. The case reported is a 26-year-old Caucasian male who presented with recurrent facial swelling between December 1978 and November 1987. His true condition eluded diagnosis for so long because he presented repeatedly with overt clinical signs which appeared severe enough to justify the symptoms claimed.
“人为性疾病”是最近分类的一组疾病，其特征是反复故意模拟身体或精神疾病，以获得医疗或精神治疗。“孟乔森综合征”就是这一组疾病的典型例子。报告的病例是一名26岁的白人男性，在1978年12月至1987年11月期间反复出现面部肿胀。由于他反复表现出明显的临床症状，这些症状看起来严重到足以证明其所称症状的合理性，因此他的真实病情长期未被诊断出来。
