A Case Report of 5 yr Old Boy with Malingering in Wesley Guild Hospital, Ilesa, Nigeria.

There are few reported cases of malingering in children in developed countries, but none has been reported among Nigerian children. This could be because of missed diagnosis, thus creating the impression that malingering is rare in children. Ability to clearly establish that a client has a primary motive behind feigning the illness is a major to look for in malingering.
