Article Abstract
The aim of this narrative review was to discuss manifestations of endocrine disease other than diabetic foot in the lower extremities. Acromegaly, Addison's disease, Cushing's syndrome, hypo- and hyperthyroidism, hypo- and hyperparathyroidism, autoimmune polyglandular syndrome, hypopituitarism, and glucagonoma are among the endocrine diseases that may present with clinical manifestations in the lower extremities.
