The lateral pectoral nerve (also known as the lateral anterior thoracic nerve) arises from the lateral cord of the brachial plexus,[1][2] and through it from the C5-7.[1][2]
It passes across the axillary artery and vein,[3] pierces the clavipectoral (coracoclavicular) fascia, and enters the deep surface of the pectoralis major to innervate it.[1][4]
