We encountered a rare case of G-CSF-producing malignant phyllodes tumor of the breast. PET-CT revealed diffuse accumulation of FDG in the bone. Phyllodes tumors need to be differentiated from bone metastasis, lymphoma, and leukemia. We must be careful to not mistake this type of tumor for bone marrow metastasis.
