Accessory navicular bone is like it's name suggests an accessory bone that not all people have. It's located in the proximal part of the foot, just before metatarsal bones, in the inner portion. It's absolutely normal to have it, it's not a disease, rather a physiological state. Sometimes it leads to pain and has to be surgically removed.

It's a small extra bone in the foot, and most people don't have it. It's located on the inner part of the foot near the arch.
