We observed the histological and inflammatory characteristics of epidural fat (EF) adjacent to the ossification area in patients with ossification of the thoracic ligament flavum (TOLF) and provide a preliminary basis for investigating the impact of EF on OLF. Morphologically, EF exhibits no significant differences between the TOLF and nonāTOLF groups,
