Introduction: Chest wall tumors, though rare, represent a significant subset of thoracic neoplasms, accounting for approximately 5% of thoracic and 2% of overall body neoplasms. Their management has historically posed challenges for surgeons, often leading to misdiagnosis, incomplete resection, and high complication rates. An individualized surgical approach, tailored to the specific characteristics of the disease, is crucial for optimizing outcomes.

Achalasia cardia is a primary motility disorder of the esophagus marked by the absence of peristalsis and the failure of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) to relax during swallowing. The preferred surgical approach is laparoscopic Heller's cardiomyotomy with Dor's fundoplication. Given the significant risks of mucosal perforation and the possibility of incomplete myotomy, which can lead to symptom recurrence, it is essential to ensure both the completeness of the myotomy and the preservation of the mucosal integrity.

Human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC) (HPV+ SNSCC) is a recently recognized entity that accounts for up to one-third of SNSCC. Although at present these cancers are not routinely tested for HPV, the incidence is increasing and HPV+ SNSCC is associated with superior survival outcomes compared with HPV- SNSCC. Here, we present the case of a patient with HPV+ SNSCC treated with endoscopic resection followed by postoperative radiation and review the literature summarizing epidemiology and management of this disease, with emphasis on the importance of HPV testing in SNSCC.

In intrasheath peroneal tendon subluxation, the peroneal tendons subluxate on each other within the retrofibular peroneal tendon sheath. Two subtypes can be distinguished: type A, in which the tendons are normal, and type B, in which the peroneus brevis tendon has an associated longitudinal split and the peroneus longus tendon subluxates through this tendon split. The purpose of this technical note is to describe the details of endoscopic retrofibular groove deepening for management of type A intrasheath peroneal tendon subluxation.
