Overview
There are no diagnostic lab findings associated with thymic carcinoma.
Laboratory Findings
- Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of thymic carcinoma include :
- Low RBC levels
- Abnormal electrolites, liver enzymes, and renal function tests could indicate spread of the carcinoma to other organs
- Presence of anti-acetylcholine receptor antibodies may be found in patients with associated myasthenia gravis[1]
