According to my vet, whom I trust, and my own experience with two of my boxers, the answer is 'yes, fairly common', and very easy to treat with minor surgery. Be aware, however, that the condition will most likely return. Even so, you should have it seen to early and as many times as your trusted vet deems necessary and safe; early surgery is brief and recovery quick, but left untreated too long, the condition is painful, interferes with eating and can lead to more serious problems or tougher surgery since bone may invade the growth.
