trans-Di-chlorido-tetra-kis-(4-meth-oxy-pyridine-κN)ruthenium(II).

The structure of the title complex, [RuCl2(C6H6NO)4], exhibits point group symmetry . The structure exhibits disorder around a axis. The 4-meth-oxy-pyridine ligands have a propeller-like arrangement around the RuII atom at 52.0 (3)° from the RuN4 plane.

Low-Grade Fibromyxoid Sarcoma of the Back.

A 29-year-old male presented with a seven-year history of a slow-growing, painless, firm, mobile mass in the right upper back that was bothersome when supine or with direct pressure. On initial presentation, a clinical diagnosis of lipoma was given. The mass progressively increased in size over several years but remained painless. The mass measured 15 x 10 cm on examination. Excision of the lesion was performed, which revealed a white cut surface with cystic degenerative changes. Histologically, the lesion revealed spindle cell morphology with occasional mitosis. Diffuse immunohistochemical staining with MUC4 supports a diagnosis of low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma (LGFMS). Tumor was present with focal extension into the deep margin. However, serial magnetic resonance imaging studies performed suggest no residual disease and negative regional lymph node involvement. This case demonstrates the growth pattern of LGFMS, but also denotes the importance of correlating radiological and pathological features to accurately diagnose and treat these tumors in a timely fashion.
