The patient was a 54-year-old male with diabetes mellitus and liver abscess perforating into the right lung through the diaphragm. After right lower lobectomy of the lung, S3-segmentectomy of the liver, and debridement of the subdiaphragmatic abscess a bronchopleural fistula appeared. After open-drainage thoractomy, secondary operation for closure of a large bronchopleural fistula and obliteration of the empyema cavities was performed with a "reversed" latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap.
