Glassy cell carcinoma (GCC) of cervix is a rare malignancy of uterine cervix. It is a rare subtype of poorly differentiated adenosquamous carcinoma accounting less than 1% of all cervical cancers and associated with aggressive behavior. Histologically it is diagnosed by sheets of large polygonal cells with distinct cell borders, finely granular ground glass like cytoplasm and vesicular nuclei with prominent nucleoli. It displays marked pleomorphism and mitosis with characteristics eosinophilic stromal infiltrate. IHC positivity to CEA, CK7 and PAN Ck with HMWK further establishes the diagnosis.
