title: [Glassy cell carcinoma: a rare cervical neoplasm. Case report of two patients and review of the literature].
abstract: The main histological types of cervix cancer are squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. The glassy cell carcinoma is a rare form found in less than 2% of cases and it is an entity, aggressive and unknown, of worse prognosis, whose current treatment is not distinguished from other histological types. We report the cases of two patients with glassy cell carcinoma of the cervix with a review of the literature.
