RESUMEN
Se reporta el caso de una mujer de 32 años, que fue internada por presentar anemia severa debido a una hemorragia uterina anormal secundaria a miomatosis. En la anamnesis se detectó que la paciente presentaba la peculiar conducta de ingerir trozos de papel higiénico remojado en bencina. Un mes luego de corregida la anemia, el trastorno de la conducta alimentaria desapareció. A propósito de este caso de pica se hace una revisión razonable de la literatura sobre este interesante y poco estudiado fenómeno psicopatológico.
