A Tale of Two Rashes in a Bone Marrow Transplant Patient

Abstract

A 68-year-old female patient with myelofibrosis was admitted for scheduled matched unrelated donor allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant for the treatment of myelofibrosis. Her past medical history was also significant for Grover disease, also known as transient acantholytic dermatosis, characterized by chronic pruritic skin eruptions. On admission, the patient had no complaints with stable vital signs and benign physical examination. Laboratory values were notable for anemia with hemoglobin of 8.33g/dL, white blood cell count of 7.22 k/uL, and platelet count of 297 k/uL.
