Grover disease , einnig þekkt sem tímabundin acantholytic dermatosis, eru útbrot sem birtast sem vökvafylltir hnúðar á efri hluta líkamans, aðallega hjá eldri hvítum körlum. Það er oft kláði en varir ekki lengi. Það eru 4 mismunandi mynstur vefjabreytinga í Grover disease og það hefur verið tengt ýmsum sjúkdómum, eins og blóðkrabbameini. Það getur verið erfitt að fylgjast með og meðhöndla það því það hefur tilhneigingu til að koma og fara af sjálfu sér. Þar sem Grover disease hefur oft verið tengt öðrum húðsjúkdómum og öðrum húðsjúkdómum er nauðsynlegt að útiloka aðra samhliða sjúkdóma, þar með talið illkynja blóðmyndandi sjúkdóma.
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.

Þessi skýrsla fjallar um sjaldgæft tilfelli Grover's disease hjá 80 ára gömlum hvítum manni sem var með útbrot á brjósti undanfarna þrjá til fjóra mánuði. Hann hefur sögu um háan blóðþrýsting, hátt kólesteról, liðagigt í hné, langvarandi sýrubakflæði, hraðan hjartslátt, fyrra krabbamein í blöðruhálskirtli og fótaóeirð. Í fyrstu var hann með kláða, rauð og ójafn útbrot aðallega á efri hluta líkamans. Þrátt fyrir að hafa notað ýmis krem og húðkrem batnaði einkennin ekki mikið. Eftir að hafa farið til húðsjúkdómalæknis og farið í vefjasýni úr húð var greiningin Grover's disease staðfest. Hann var síðan meðhöndlaður með sterakremi í tvær vikur.
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.
