Hi,
quick question regarding phantosmia/olfactory delusional disorder. Pt has recurrent belief that a horrible smell is emanating from their vagina. I seem to recall reading somewhere along the line that this particular condition has a specific name beyond olfactory delusional disorder. any thoughts?
 
Olfactory reference syndrome.

This is different from other forms of somatic delusions, which include but are not limited to monosymptomatic parasitosis, dysmorphophobia, and aneroid delusions.
