• Texture analysis in nonenhanced pulmonary MRI improves the differentiation of pulmonary lymphoma and fungal pneumonia compared with signal intensity quotients. • T1w entropy, uniformity, and energy along with T2w energy show the best performances for differentiating pulmonary lymphoma from fungal pneumonia. • The results of the texture analysis should be checked for their intrinsic consistency to identify possible incongruities of single parameters.
