Hello and welcome to HCM,
The interpretation of ultrasound of left (the kidney of interest) is as follows:
The left kidney is normal in size.
There is a presence of some structure in the mid-part of the kidney.
One possibility is the presence of column of Bertini which is a normal structure of the kidney.
The other possibility (which is less likely) is presence of some mass lesion in the kidney.
Further investigations- Ct scan is required to more accurately identify the lesion in the mid part of the kidney.

Thanks and take care
