Self-cannibalism is the practice of eating oneself, also called autocannibalism, or autosarcophagy. A similar term which is applied differently is autophagy, which specifically denotes the normal process of self-degredation by cells. Whilst almost an exclusive term for this process, autophagy nonetheless has occasionally made its way into more common usage.
