A bruise in the seat of the corn is called what?

The seat of the corn is a specific location on the sole just inside the hoof wall, where bruising from concussion or pressure occurs. A bruise in that spot is called a corn. This term uniquely identifies both the location and the lesion, whereas a general bruise or lameness aren’t the precise terms for this condition. So the best answer is corn.
