absence of pleuropulmonary lesions with active thick focus

no evidence of focal pleural thickening//pleural plaque
no focal pleural thickening= no focal pleural plaque

As for 'lesioni pleuropulmonari', I do not believe that it means pleural AND pulmonary lesions, but rather only pleural lesions.

a focolaio
The patient becomes delirious and may eventually exhibit focal neurological signs = Il paziente cade in delirio e può presentare talvolta dei sintomi neurologici a focolaio

By analogy, lesioni pleuropolmonari a focolaio = focal pleuro-pulmonary lesions = focal pleural lesions and focal pulmonary lesions

...translated literally, that is.
In your context, it'll be focal pleural or pulmonary lesions.
