Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Pica indicates the persistent ingestion of inedible substances over a period of at least 1 month, being discordant to the individual\'s cognitive development level and not directly attributable to cultural or social normative practices. The literature suggests that the prevalence of pica varies significantly according to the social and clinical context. It can co-occur with psychiatric disorders, with its etiology being poorly understood and most likely multifactorial. In this article, we report the case of a patient in her 50s with a clinical setting compatible with soap ingestion variant of pica disorder. In addition to the variety of ingested substances, pica can be associated with heterogeneous behavior, mainly of the obsessive-compulsive spectrum. Despite recent research, this condition is still a target of much speculation. This is a very rare and challenging presentation of a soap ingestion variant of pica with very few similar cases described to date.
摘要：
■Pica表示在至少1个月的时间内持续摄入不可食用物质，与个人的认知发展水平不一致，不能直接归因于文化或社会规范实践。文献表明，异食癖的患病率根据社会和临床背景而显着变化。它可以与精神疾病同时发生，其病因知之甚少，很可能是多因素的。在这篇文章中,我们报告了一例50多岁的患者，其临床环境与异食异食异食癖疾病的肥皂摄取兼容。除了摄入的各种物质，pica可以与异构行为相关联，主要是强迫症。尽管最近的研究,这种情况仍然是许多猜测的目标。这是一种非常罕见且具有挑战性的异食癖肥皂摄取变体，迄今为止描述的类似案例很少。
