simplicity, simple
Explanation:
This must be a typo, and it should be "単純性". "単純性" is "simplicity", but when it modifies names of other disease, it will be "simple", as in "simple goiter" (単純性甲状腺腫), "simple ulcer" (単純性潰瘍), "simple urethritis" (単純性尿道炎), etc.

巣純性
focal


Explanation:
If it's not a spelling error,巣純性 means "focal” in a way。
How to translate ”性” depens on the noun which is following。I guess the word means ”traceable to”、isn't it?
