The present case study reports a malignant intraosseous glomus tumor of the index finger that was presented as an osteosclerotic lesion and invaded adjacent tissues, leading to ray amputation. We also reported result of a five-year follow-up and presented a short literature review for the lesion. Level of evidence: IV
