Glial polyp (glioma) of the uterine cervix, report of a case with demonstration of glial fibrillary acidic protein.
A case of glial tissue in a polypoid structure of the uterine cervix is presented; the presence of glial fibrillary acidic protein was demonstrated by immunoperoxidase, confirming the astrocytic nature of the tissue. The main hypotheses to explain this unusual finding are discussed.
