A member asked:

My mom has pain under left breast by her ribs. she had an x-ray, dr said there was a dense area, wants to do a nuclear bone scan. costochondritis ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Costochondritis does not show up on x-ray. The density is concerning for cancer, and that is what the follow up studies are looking for. Good luck I hope it turns out to be something benign.
