Bone wax is a commonly used hemostatic agent derived from beeswax. It is used widely in neurosurgery, orthopaedic surgery, maxillofacial and orthognathic surgery.  Although few case reports have emerged regarding complication due to the bone wax, the use of it continues in various surgical sites.  We report an unusual case of a non-healing ulcer over the iliac crest appearing one year after bone harvest was done for alveolar bone grafting
