Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your concern.
Prominent extra renal pelvis,means the drainage system from kidneys to bladder,is outside the kidneys. Normally,located completed inside kidneys.
There's nothing to worry about it,as this is seen as a normal variant.
It doesn't affect the kidneys in any way.
The USG scan must be repeated in about 3 months time.
If you've any doubts,you can send it as a direct question,to me.
