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, nevertheless you could find low RBC levels because of its malignancy origin, but other tests like electrolites, liver enzymes and renal function tests could indicate spread of the carcinoma to other organs.
