title: Skin disorders of the lower extremity in adults as reported in the current literature.
abstract: This article represents a synthesis of the literature from 1960 to the present. The authors refocused their assigned topic from geriatric skin disorders to adult skin disorders. The distinction between adult and nonadult is clearer than the distinction between geriatric and nongeriatric. The topics covered are divided broadly into malignant and nonmalignant entities.
