Plain-English summary
A 6-year-old Labrador and a 6-year-old Boxer were found to have masses in their pelvic areas during routine check-ups, but neither dog showed any symptoms. The masses were surgically removed and tested, revealing they were extraosseous aneurysmal bone cysts, which are benign fluid-filled lesions. Both dogs were otherwise healthy and did not require further treatment after the surgery. They recovered well from the procedure.
