Grover disease , cunoscută și sub numele de dermatoză acantolitică tranzitorie, este o erupție cutanată care apare sub formă de umflături umplute cu lichid pe partea superioară a corpului, în principal la bărbații albi mai în vârstă. Este adesea mâncărime, dar nu durează mult. Există 4 modele diferite de modificări ale țesuturilor în Grover disease și au fost legate de diferite boli, cum ar fi cancerul de sânge. Poate fi greu de urmărit și tratat, deoarece tinde să vină și să plece de la sine. Deoarece Grover disease a fost asociat frecvent cu alte afecțiuni dermatologice și nondermatologice ale pielii, este esențial să excludeți alte tulburări concomitente, inclusiv afecțiunile maligne hematopoietice.
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.

Acest raport discută un caz rar de Grover's disease la un bărbat alb de 80 de ani care a avut o erupție pe piept în ultimele trei până la patru luni. Are antecedente de hipertensiune arterială, colesterol crescut, artrită la genunchi, reflux cronic de acid, ritm cardiac rapid, cancer de prostată anterior și sindromul picioarelor neliniştite. La început, a avut o erupție cutanată cu mâncărime, roșie, în principal pe partea superioară a corpului. În ciuda faptului că a folosit diverse creme și loțiuni, simptomele lui nu s-au îmbunătățit prea mult. După ce a fost consultat cu un dermatolog și a făcut o biopsie de piele, diagnosticul de Grover's disease a fost confirmat. Apoi a fost tratat cu o cremă cu steroizi timp de două săptămâni.
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.
