A lobulation is an appearance resembling lobules.

For instance, the thyroid gland may become large and lobulated in Hashimoto's thyroiditis.[1]

Fetal lobulation, also known as fetal lobation, of the kidney is evident on scanning. Fetal lobation is a normal stage in the development of the kidney.[2] In the adult a normal anatomic variant is that of persistent fetal lobulation of the kidney that may be mistaken for a tumour.[3]
