Abstract
The authors describe a case of disseminated lipogranulomatosis (Farber disease) presenting as nonimmune hydrops fetalis. This is the tenth l ysosomal storage disease which can show this clinical manifestation. T he literature is reviewed for all hydrops cases associated with lysoso mal storage diseases. Conclusion Although rare, the lysosomal storage diseases collectively are significant causes of nonimmune hydrops and appropriate investigations are required in all cases of unexplained hy drops fetalis.
