Types of Skin Cancer on Ear 1Basel Cell Carcinoma 2 Squamous Cell Cancer 3 Melanoma The most common type of ear cancer is basal cell carcinoma, and the second most common type appears in the ear. A basal cell carcinoma develops in the basal cells of the epidermis, which are located just beneath the surface of the skin. The most common type of skin cancer on the ear is squamous cell carcinoma, which is the second most common type. Squamous cell carcinoma occurs when the squamous cells on the ear, become damaged and begin to grow out of control. The diagnosis of melanomas of the ear is very rare and a much more serious one than either basal or squamous cell carcinomas. In comparison with other types of skin cancer, melanomas are more likely to spread to surrounding tissues on the face.
