Grover disease , també coneguda com a dermatosi acantolítica transitòria, és una erupció que apareix com a protuberàncies plenes de líquid a la part superior del cos, principalment en homes blancs grans. Sovint fa picor, però no dura gaire. Hi ha 4 patrons diferents de canvis en els teixits a Grover disease i s'ha relacionat amb diverses malalties, com ara càncers de sang. Pot ser difícil de rastrejar i tractar perquè tendeix a sortir i venir per si mateix. Com que Grover disease s'ha associat amb freqüència amb altres afeccions dermatològiques i no dermatològiques de la pell, és essencial descartar altres trastorns concomitants, incloses les hematopoètiques malignes.
Grover disease, also known as transient acantholytic dermatosis, is a rash that appears as bumps filled with fluid on the upper body, mainly in older white men. It's often itchy but doesn't last long. There are 4 different patterns of tissue changes in Grover disease, and it has been linked to various illnesses, like blood cancers. It can be hard to track and treat because it tends to come and go on its own. Because Grover disease has been associated frequently with other dermatologic and nondermatologic skin conditions, to rule out other concomitant disorders, including hematopoietic malignancies is essential.

Té antecedents de pressió arterial alta, colesterol alt, artritis de genoll, reflux àcid crònic, ritme cardíac ràpid, càncer de pròstata previ i síndrome de cames inquietes. Al principi, tenia una erupció cutània vermella i amb picor principalment a la part superior del cos. Tot i utilitzar diverses cremes i locions, els seus símptomes no van millorar gaire. Després de veure un dermatòleg i fer-se una biòpsia de pell, es va confirmar el diagnòstic de Grover's disease. Després va ser tractat amb una crema d'esteroides durant dues setmanes.
This case report details a rare case of Grover's disease in an 80-year-old Caucasian male complaining of a rash across his chest over the last three to four months. The patient has a past medical history of essential hypertension, hyperlipidemia, osteoarthritis of the knee, chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), supraventricular tachycardia, status post prostate cancer, and restless legs syndrome. During his initial evaluation, he was found to have a pruritic, erythematous, papular rash most notably along his upper trunk and chest. The patient utilized multiple lotions, emollients, and anti-itch creams with minimal relief of his symptoms and presentation. Following a referral to Dermatology, a biopsy of the rash was conducted, which revealed intraepidermal acantholysis, the hallmark finding for a diagnosis of Grover's disease. Subsequently, he was treated with a topical triamcinolone acetonide 0.1% cream for 14 days.
