Aim(s): The aim of this study was to evaluate the characteristics and the natural history of grade 2 GC1.

Materials and methods: We collected retrospectively the data of patients with GC1 and analysed the epidemiological, histological and imaging features as well as the clinical outcome of grade 2 tumors.
