Pectus excavatum is a Latin term that means âhollowed chest.â People with this congenital condition have a distinctly sunken chest. A concave sternum (breastbone) may exist at birth, or it may develop later, usually during adolescence. Other common names include âcobblerâs chest,â âfunnel chest,â and âsunken chest.â. About 37 percent of people with pectus excavatum also have a close relative with the condition. This suggests that it may be hereditary. Pectus excavatum is the most common chest wall anomaly among children. In severe cases, it can interfere with the function of the heart and lungs. In mild cases, it can cause self-image problems. Some patients with this condition often avoid activities such as swimming that make hiding the condition difficult.
