EXTREMITIES: There is lower extremity edema present on the s/l ocburt extremity. On the forearms and hands are tattoos. Thank you.
I wonder if the dictator is stumbling - sm

There is lower extremity edema present in the upper extremity.
If that is what they're saying, you'll have to kick it back to the dictator to referee.
