Overview
Thymic carcinoma is clinically diagnosed by imaging studies and a biopsy. Laboratory test would not be useful for a definitive diagnosis.
Laboratory Findings
There are no laboratory test that confirm the diagnosis of thymic carcinoma. We could find low RBC levels because of its malignancy origin, but other tests like electrolites, liver enzyme and renal function could indicate spread of the carcinoma to other organs.
