Explanation

Persistent fetal lobulation of the adult kidney is a normal anatomical variant where the fetal renal lobulation pattern persists into adulthood. It is not a congenital defect, not caused by obstruction or infection, and does not represent pathology. It represents persistent external lobulations between the renal pyramids and is often incidentally detected on imaging. The kidney functions normally.
