Yeah, that looks pretty weird.
But may very well be totally fine.
I have a P. arboricola that developed a sizeable abdomen defect during a molt a few years ago. Didn’t seem to bother her, and she’s molted twice since then without issue. It gets slightly better with each molt, but is still visible.

This was the original defect, about 2.5 years ago.

Then after one molt:

And she just molted again.
Haven’t gotten a pic yet though, she’s still hiding

Hoping she ends up fine for you... It's possible you want to feed pretty sparingly/not let her get too fat in the long wait for that next molt? If there's a thinner or weakened spot in the new exoskeleton, it might be bad for it to stretch...
I have been starving (in her ganglia) another T for several months, with an injury, deformity or cyst. Sparingly with an old rosea? So, skip her next meal and feed her in 2025? 😂
