Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: Benign triton tumors (BTTs) in the pediatric population are extremely rare occurrences. Paucity of data on BTTs poses both diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, particularly when found intracranially.
METHODS: A case report of a 10-year-old male diagnosed with incidental maxillary trigeminal (V2) BTT is presented. We discuss radiographic and histopathological interpretations. Furthermore, we provide a brief review of current literature and historical background on pediatric trigeminal BTT diagnosis, histopathology, and management.
RESULTS: Successful gross total resection of the tumor was achieved via Dolenc approach to the cavernous sinus. Management options with consideration of outcomes from the few prior cases reported in the literature are presented.
CONCLUSIONS: Treatment of trigeminal nerve tumors requires a broad differential diagnosis and understanding rare tumors is essential in the diagnosis and treatment algorithm.

摘要：
目的：良性Triton肿瘤（BTT）在儿科人群中极为罕见。关于BTT的数据匮乏带来了诊断和治疗方面的挑战，特别是在颅内发现的时候。
方法：1例10岁男性被诊断为上颌三叉神经（V2）BTT。我们讨论放射学和组织病理学解释。此外，我们简要回顾了小儿三叉神经BTT诊断的当前文献和历史背景，组织病理学,和管理。
结果：通过Dolenc入路进入海绵窦，成功完成了肿瘤的全切。提出了考虑文献中报道的少数先前病例的结果的管理方案。
结论：三叉神经肿瘤的治疗需要广泛的鉴别诊断，了解罕见肿瘤在诊断和治疗算法中至关重要。
