  • Myogenic transcriptional regulatory protein expressed early in skeletal muscle differentiation
  • Sensitive and specific for rhabdomyosarcoma
  • Focal nuclear staining in desmoid tumors, infantile myofibromatosis, synovial sarcoma, infantile fibrosarcoma, entrapped atrophic or regenerative skeletal muscle (Am J Surg Pathol 2001;25:1150)
  • Positive staining: normal fetal muscle;
  • Negative staining: normal adult muscle

  • Oxygen binding protein
  • Positive staining: striated muscle (cardiac, skeletal); rhabdomyosarcoma, other tumors with skeletal muscle differentiation
