undiagnosed condition
Unnamed medical problem
An undiagnosed condition is a medical problem that exists but hasn't been identified by a doctor.
The phrase often appears when symptoms persist without explanation: She suffered for years with an undiagnosed condition.
It can also surface in retrospective contexts, when something is finally named: It turned out to be an undiagnosed condition he'd had since childhood.
