Abstract. In a patient with an ovarian cystic teratoma and the peritoneal cavity filled with sebaceous material, an abdominal radiograph revealed a wide fat stripe between the parietal peritoneum and the lateral wall of the ascending colon. We called the existence of the wide fat stripe, which implied large amounts of intraperitoneal fatty material, the ``intraperitoneal fat sign.''
