SUMMARY The histological features of 66 cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the lip were studied in an attempt to define prognostic parameters. Features that correlated with an increased risk or metastasis included histological grade of the tumour at the base and the surface, the tumour thickness, presence of stromal sclerosis, and the presence of muscle and perineural invasion.
