Overview
Thymoma is clinically diagnosed by radiological studies and lab work is ususally used to diagnose associated disorders.
Laboratory Findings
If the suspicion is high, some blood tests are often performed to look for associated problems or possible spread. These include: full blood count, protein electrophoresis, antibodies to the acetylcholine receptor (indicative of myasthenia gravis), electrolytes, liver enzymes and renal function.[1]
