Overview

There are no diagnostic laboratory findings associated with solitary pulmonary nodule.

Laboratory Findings

• The use of biomarker may be useful in the risk stratification for solitary pulmonary nodule, biomarkers such as:

• Carcinoembryonic antigen
• Alpha-1 antitrypsin
• Squamous cell carcinoma antigen

• The measurement of biomarkers may be useful for benign diseases, markers such as:

• Angiotensin converting enzyme
• Connective tissue disease markers
