Yes - its when someone absolutely loathes a particular part of their body. I suffered in a mild way as a child. I hated my legs, could not bear to look at them and couldn't imagine being really happy with them attached to me. I used to scrub them every morning with a hard brush. I have no idea where it came from and it eventually resolved itself. But people who have the syndrome for real will even have surgery or create an accident to get rid of their loathed body part.
