Summary:Skeletal xanthomas are extremely rare benign disorders with features mimicking bone tumours and their definitive diagnosis is very difficult. Patients diagnosed with primary xanthoma should be followed up regularly as they may develop dyslipidemia later. Xanthomatous degeneration occurring in other bony lesions should be differentiated with xanthomas by studying the whole specimen microscopically. A 45 year old lady presented to us with xanthoma of ulna who was a known diabetic and hypothyroid on treatment. Ours is the second case of ulnar xanthoma reported so far in the literature. KEY WORDS: Xanthoma, ulna, benign.
