Farber's disease (generalized lipogranulomatosis) is described in three affected siblings, products of a consanguineous marriage between first cousins. The clinical, laboratory, pathological and histochemical findings in one of these cases are reported in detail. This is the first recorded observation of Farber's disease in Iran.
