I Don’t Understand The Procedure?

can u explain this in simple words:
Differentiate between true gynecomastia and pseudogynecomastia. These 2 entities may be distinguished by having the patient lie on his back with his hands behind his head. The examiner then places a thumb on each side of the breast, and slowly brings the thumbs together. In true gynecomastia, a ridge of glandular tissue will be felt that is symmetrical to the nipple-areolar complex. With pseudogynecomastia, the fingers won’t meet until they reach the nipple.
the whole article is from this site http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/12… . I just don’t understand this paragraph

It’s telling you how to feel the difference between two conditions, apparently. Where the second one (“pseudo”) resembles the first but is different in it’s location ( the nipple rather than being a ridge of glandular tissue symmetrical to the nipple-areolar complex ). The second one is probably commonly mistaken for the first, hence the prefix “pseudo.”
