Abstract
Here we commemorate the character and academic authority of Prof. Zabiholah Gorban (1903–2006), the founder of Shiraz medical school. No doubt, in the scope of history of contemporary medicine in Iran, he has been efficient and effective. With respect to this fact, his article on a rare case described in Acta anatomica published in 1966, entitled (Observations on a giant skeleton) is browsed and reviewed. A case named Siah Khan with combined acromegaly and gigantism that appears to have letters to say still after nearly half a century.
