We report a new case of glial tissue in uterine cervix found in a 63 year-old woman with an abortion 30 years ago. The lesion, measuring 0.5 cm in diameter, showed a typical feature of mature glial tissue immunoreactive for the glial fibrillary acid protein. Hypothesis concerning its histogenesis (fetal graft, tumor, metaplasia) are discussed. Fetal implantation is likely as in the majority of published cases.
