Özet

INTRODUCTION: We report an interesting case of monosymptomatic hypochondriacal psychosis (MHP) which, because of its rarity, tends to be neglected in differential diagnosis. The patient presented with delusions including smelling the odour of detergent and thinking detergent was circulating in his blood. He had many medical and paramedical treatments over 2 1/2 years, and was finally diagnosed with MHP.
