Brief Answer:
CT SCAN of Abdomen is required for diagnostic confirmation

Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir.

I can certainly understand your concern.

I have worked through your query in detail.

These findings on EUS represent a possible chronic pancreatitis or pancreatic cystic lesion like condition.

It's very important to get a CT SCAN ( non contrast) of Abdomen for diagnostic confirmation and appropriate therapeutic guidance.

Thank you.
