I read a word "chestical". but I couldn't find this word in my dictionary.

It's not a common word, but something someone made up for a specific situation. Can you give us the details?

It sounds like it means "b r e a s t." I don't understand why the speker felt the need for the word, but most likely it was chosen because it rhymes with "t e s t i c l e." It sounds pretty lame to me.

Which one is right?

Quite often, chesticle is used to mean the chest area in general so as to avoid using the word b r e a s t s.

Chesticle is sometimes used in a jocular or humorous way as a euphemism for b r e a s t s, for example, a bra can be described as a chesticle containment device.

Chesticle is also used in slang to mean:

1. Male b r e a s t s (the t e s t i c l e s of the chest). Often used as an insult.

2. A word used to describe a female who normally has very small b r e a s t s, but is able to create cleavage using a foreign object (i.e.-Julia Roberts in "Erin Brockovich")

3. Pendulous b r e a s t s that hang like icicles. Related to testicle in the sexual sense, icicle in the structural sense, and chest as in their location on the body.
