The authors argue that, in addition to classically recognized risk factors for local and nodal recurrence, attention should be paid to the presence of tissue inflammation confirmed histopathologically. It is also suggested to consider a tumor size of 10 mm as a threshold, increasing the risk of recurrence, instead of the frequently proposed 20 mm.
