The hand is a unique structure in human body performing complex activities of daily life making it prone to injuries. While operating on zone VI extensor tendon injury, a surprising entity was observed. The extensor digitorum to the right index finger was absent. This is an extremely rare entity in the literature. Also, all previous studies on the extensor digitorum are cadaveric. Our findings are first of its kind intraoperative, incidental, and confirmed on MRI. Thus, it becomes a case report of special worth mentioning in literature.
