*Typically young large or giant breeds
*75% of cases in German shepherd dogs, 5-12 months old
*Clinical signs:
**Shifting lameness
**Often eosinophilia in peripheral blood
*Usually self-limiting in one to several months
*Grossly:
**Foreleg long bone '''diaphyses''' affected (multiple bones in 50% of cases)
**Increased bone formation in the medullary cavity and often in the periosteum
*Contast with [[Bones Hyperplastic and Neoplastic - Pathology#Hypertrophic osteodystrophy|'''hypertrophic osteodystrophy''']]

 Panosteitis is a '''spontaneous, self-limiting inflammatory disease''' of '''young, rapidly growing large or giant dogs'''. 75% of cases are seen in '''German Shepherd Dogs''' between 5 and 12 months of age. It is much more common in '''males''' than in females.

 :'''In the late phase''', the appearance of the medullary canal '''returns to normal'''. The thickened cortices and accentuated trabecular pattern are the last to resolve.

+Such lesions may be present in a single bone or in several bones. '''Repeat radiographs''' are helpful to assess the progression of the condition through the phases. Sometimes a definitive radiological diagnosis is never achieved because the clinical signs disappear before further radiographs are taken.

 '''Excessive dietary supplementation''' in young, large-breed growing dogs should be avoided.
