description This article describes the clinical experience of a female patient who, a priori, was diagnosed as suffering from anaemia caused by lack of iron. Later, the patient was also observed to be suffering from Munchausen's syndrome. Despite repeated spells in hospital, exhaustive clinical investigations and treatment over a long period of time, the disease developed atypically in the patient who was resistant to any psychiatric indication or to haematological treatment. The case has shown the possibility of the coexistence of the haematogenous disease and Munchausen's syndrome.   Keywords: Munchausen’s Syndrome x Iron Deficiency.
