Pigeon chest?: It can be hard to tell from your description, but i'm wondering if you're asking about something called pigeon chest, or pectus carinatum. It's a condition where the sternum and ribs bow out, instead of lying flat. You can read more about it from a reputable source here: http://www.Nlm.Nih.Gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003321.Htm.
