Explanation

"Normal appearing medulla" refers to a part of an organ that looks as it should under normal conditions. The term "medulla" is often used in medicine to describe the innermost part of certain organs. For example, in the kidneys, the medulla is the innermost part where urine is collected before it moves to the bladder. So, if a doctor says that the medulla appears normal, it means that, based on their examination or tests, this part of the organ doesn't show any signs of disease or damage.
