ABSTRACT
Somatization disorder is thought to be rare in men. This paper reviews five previously reported cases of somatization disorder in men and reports nine new cases referred from primary care physicians. These men have most of the associated features of the disorder, are of lower socioeconomic status, and have other significant psychiatric diagnoses. Eight of the nine men had a dramatic precipitating event at the onset of their illness. This diagnosis appears to be applicable to men and needs to be considered in men with multiple, recurrent unexplained medical symptoms.
