It is odd that the cortex is depressed at this point but there is no disruption of the cortex that would suggest neoplasia. I can't imagine what tendons would insert here to support Anthony's theory but my orthopaedic anatomy is not good. You say it is a young dog - how young? Maybe it is from a previous greenstick fracture or other injury - presumably you'll never know if its a rescue, or an extra-cortical bone cyst. Looks a bit like my bunion!!

Thanks, Anthony. This dog is lame, but not painful open this area, so I suspect it is just an incidental finding. Shanley

I had something similar on a 12m.o FN golden retreiver - came in with a hard lump on the medial aspect on one of it's carpi. We radiographed it, though it might be new bone formation from a ligament/tendon avulsion so went for resty and hydro therapy. Dog was never lame, after 2 months of restricted exercise she went back to normal exercise and no issues at all.
