Abstract
Glassy cell carcinoma is a poorly differentiated adenosquamous carcinoma of the cervix, hallmarked by aggressive behavior, occurrence in association with pregnancy, and a poor patient survival rate. Three of these very rare cervical, primary malignancies are reported. At the time of this writing, only one patient has survived.
