Our boxer Lexi had something like this. We had one lump removed in 2015 and it was inconclusive for mast cell. They came back in 2016 and were slow growing so we didn't remove them because they didn't seem to bother her. In 2019 they were getting to the point we might remove them again but she was already almost 12 years old and we didn't want to put her through surgery/anesthesia unless absolutely necessary. And she ended up passing away from cancer soon after, likely unrelated to the paw lumps.
We never did find out exactly what they were.
