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.

Pain in chest bone (middle/right). increases when I twist sideways. Always have cracking sound when twisting left/right, it reduces the pain. By research, I may have "costochondritis".
