Sacrococcygeal masses may arise from the axial skeleton, cartilaginous tissue, connective tissue nerve cells, germ cells, or plasma cells. The aid of clinical examinations, imaging, and collaboration with other disciplines is often needed. In this case report, we report the case of a new-born male who was born with a sacrococcygeal mass which was diagnosed pathologically as a low-grade spindle cell tumour. The literature on the demographics, pathology, and guidance on spindle cell tumours is sparse due to their rarity. The prognosis and survival of patients with such tumours are greatly influenced by the primary location's site, stage, pathology, and the treatment selected. Further research is needed to study spindle cell tumours.
