Core Tip	We report a rare case of brachial plexus (division level), suprascapular, and long thoracic nerve injury after axillary thoracotomy and latissimus dorsi muscle flap surgery for bronchopleural fistula. The patient was diagnosed via the clinical course, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, and electrodiagnostic study. This case recommends that clinicians should pay attention to patients’ underlying conditions, which are related to nerve complications such as severe multiple joint contractures, and prevent the complications.
