Diffuse increased F-FDG in the bone marrow can be seen with colony-stimulating factors. Here, we reported a case of idiopathic cytopenia of undetermined significance treated with interleukin 11. After administration of interleukin 11, both diffuse and focally increased FDG activity in the bone marrow were noted. The focal activity was histologically proven as hyperplastic bone marrow.
