"Dense costochondral" on an X-ray typically refers to an area where the costal cartilage meets the rib, showing increased radiopacity or density. This can indicate conditions such as calcification or ossification of the cartilage, which may be associated with aging, stress, or certain medical conditions. The appearance can vary based on the underlying cause and may warrant further investigation if it is unusual for the patient's age or clinical context.
