Congenital molluscum contagiosum is rare but has been reported previously. We present a unique case of linear congenital molluscum on the coccygeal region. To make a correct diagnosis, avoid unnecessary examination, and start appropriate treatment as soon as possible, it is beneficial for dermatologists to be aware that molluscum contagiosum can present at birth and can be linear.
