A case of anorexia nervosa diagnosed at age 45 in a man with a 20-year history of eating disorder is described. The reasons why anorexia may go undiagnosed in men are reviewed. The need to consider the possibility of this "unusual" diagnosis in men presenting with weight loss, no matter what their age, is emphasized.
