Spesso provoca prurito ma non dura a lungo. Esistono 4 diversi modelli di alterazioni tissutali in Grover disease , ed è stato collegato a varie malattie, come i tumori del sangue. Può essere difficile da monitorare e trattare perché tende ad andare e venire da solo.

Questo rapporto discute un raro caso di Grover's disease in un uomo bianco di 80 anni che aveva avuto un'eruzione cutanea sul petto negli ultimi tre o quattro mesi. Ha una storia di ipertensione, colesterolo alto, artrite al ginocchio, reflusso acido cronico, battito cardiaco accelerato, precedente cancro alla prostata e sindrome delle gambe senza riposo. All'inizio aveva un'eruzione cutanea pruriginosa, rossa e irregolare, principalmente sulla parte superiore del corpo. Nonostante l'uso di varie creme e lozioni, i suoi sintomi non sono migliorati molto. Dopo aver visitato un dermatologo e aver effettuato una biopsia cutanea, la diagnosi di Grover's disease è stata confermata. Successivamente è stato trattato con una crema steroidea per due settimane.
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.
