title: Desmin as a marker for canine botryoid rhabdomyosarcomas.
abstract: The intermediate filament desmin was present in three canine botryoid rhabdomyosarcomas. The use of desmin as a diagnostic tool may, as in these tumours in man, be of value in the classification of canine sarcomas where the origin of the tumour is not always apparent from routine histological sections.
