A histological scoring system was created to determine the aggressiveness of basal cell carcinomas of the head and neck and to determine which squamous cell carcinomas of the external ear will develop metastases. Basal cell carcinomas of the external ear were the most aggressive. The parameters depth of growth and mode of invasion were the most valuable in predicting metastases.
