Factitious disorder involves an individual intentionally producing or exaggerating symptoms of illness in themselves for the primary purpose of assuming the sick role and gaining medical attention. A woman who received successful surgery for ovarian cancer is least likely to suffer from factitious disorder, as her medical condition was genuine and not fabricated or exaggerated for the sake of attention.
