What's this slow-growing lump on my dog's elbow, not bothering him?

Question

Any idea what this is on his elbow? Has slowly grown over a year, doesn’t bother him. Pet's info: Dog | French Bulldog | Male | neutered | 6 years and 8 months old | 19 lbs

This looks like it could be an adenoma, which is a benign skin growth. There are several other skin tumors that could look similar, and some might need to be removed. I'd recommend having your vet take a look in person and potentially take a sample using a needle to see what cells are present. I don't necessarily think you need to see your vet urgently if it has been present for a year and isn't bothering Cheese.
