Abstract

Grover’s disease, or transient acantholytic dermatosis, consists of a papulovesicular pruritic dermatosis histologically characterized by acantholysis. Most cases are represented by white men above 40 years of age. There is no known etiology; however, heat and excessive sweating are frequently described as triggering or aggravating factors. The diagnosis is made by clinical suspicion and confirmed by biopsy of cutaneous lesions. In this study the case of a 53-year-old patient is reported with Grover’s disease associated with infestation by Sarcoptes scabiei.
