A pseudomass is an apparent anomaly on a diagnostic test that appears to be a mass. Upon inspection, it is usually discovered to be something else.

A pseudomass refers to a focal area on imaging studies that appears to be a mass but is actually caused by the overlapping of normal structures, artifacts, or technical issues rather than a true pathological lesion. It is typically a false positive finding that can be mistaken for a real mass on imaging scans.
