ABSTRACT: During routine dissection of the upper extremity, of a male cadaver 60 years of age in our department of anatomy, we found the superficial ulnar artery which is a rare variation of the ulnar artery. This artery was arising from the middle of the right brachial artery and the artery then had a superficial course in the forearm and was found superficial to muscles arising from the medial epicondyle.[3, 4] The superficial ulnar artery is a very rare variation of the upper limb arterial system. The incidence is about 2.26%.[6] These variations may have diagnostic, interventional and surgical significance. The brachial artery had a normal course and it divided into the radial artery and the common inter-osseous artery
