Red marrow recolonization induced by growth factors mimicking an increase in tumor volume during preoperative chemotherapy: MR study

J Comput Assist Tomogr. 1997 Jul-Aug;21(4):529-31. doi: 10.1097/00004728-199707000-00004.

Abstract

Growth factors associated with chemotherapy may induce red marrow reconversion. This may simulate a tumor increase on MRI. We report such a case.
