[BioC] Can DESeq2 find tissue-specific expression genes

Hi, everyone
We want to determine which genes are tissue-specific expression in RNA-Seq data set.
There are 3 samples for each tissue and 10 tissues in total.

For example, we have:
Sample1, Sample2, Sample3
Tissue1, Tissue2,..., Tissue10

How can we use DESeq2 to determine which genes are tissue-specific expression?
Can we take Tissue1 as CASE, other 9 tissues as CONTROL, to find tissue-specific genes (high expression in Tissue1) ?
Thanks.
Eman Lee
