A member asked:

The right side of my sternum is larger than the left. feels like cartilidge. starts at top and ends near middle. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Could be: This sounds like a form of pectus excavatum. These malformations are common and usually are asymptomatic, unless so severe and disfiguring as to affect a child psychologically. Then surgery is an option.
