Body integrity identity disorder (BIID) is a condition in which people do not perceive a part of their body as their own, which results in a strong desire for amputation or paralyzation. The disorder is likely to be congenital due to its very early onset. The English literature describes only Western patients with BIID, suggesting that the disorder might be merely prevalent in the West. To scrutinize this assumption, and to extend our knowledge of the etiology of BIID, it is important to trace cases with BIID in non-Western populations. Our objective was to review Chinese and Japanese literature on BIID to learn about its presence in populations with a different genetic background. A systematic literature search was performed in databases containing Japanese and Chinese research, published in the respective languages. Five Japanese articles of BIID were identified which described two cases of BIID, whereas in the Chinese databases only BIID-related conditions were found. This article reports some preliminary evidence that BIID is also present in non-Western countries. However, making general statements about the biological background of the disorder is hampered by the extremely low number of cases found. This low number possibly resulted from the extreme secrecy associated with the disorder, perhaps even more so in Asian countries.
身体完整性认同障碍（BIID）是一种人们不将自己身体的某一部分视为自身的病症，这导致他们强烈渴望截肢或瘫痪。由于发病极早，这种病症可能是先天性的。英文文献仅描述了患有BIID的西方患者，这表明该病症可能仅在西方流行。为了审视这一假设，并扩展我们对BIID病因的认识，追踪非西方人群中患有BIID的病例很重要。我们的目标是查阅关于BIID的中文和日语文献，以了解其在具有不同遗传背景人群中的存在情况。我们在包含以各自语言发表的日本和中国研究的数据库中进行了系统的文献检索。我们识别出五篇关于BIID的日本文章，其中描述了两例BIID病例，而在中国数据库中仅发现了与BIID相关的病症。本文报告了一些初步证据，表明非西方国家也存在BIID。然而，由于发现的病例数量极少，阻碍了对该病症生物学背景进行一般性陈述。病例数量少可能是由于该病症相关的极度保密性，在亚洲国家可能更是如此。
