Abstract:
Administration of granulocyte colony stimulating factor can cause homogeneous hypermetabolic activity of bone marrow in positron emission tomography using F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose. We report a case in which positron emission tomography demonstrated multiple foci of hypermetabolic activity in the bone marrow, which was considered an early effect of granulocyte colony stimulating factor, and not multiple osseous metastases.
