Key Words	Pancreatic cyst; Fluid analysis; String sign; Rheology
Core Tip	No single optimal test reliably determines the pancreatic cyst subtype including all imaging modalities and biochemical fluid analysis. Physical analysis of the fluid as expressed by the string sign can improve the diagnostic yield and should be integrated in every multimodal pancreatic cystic lesions workup. The string sign as it is currently performed, suffers from significant shortcoming due to its subjective nature. Rheological (physical) properties, instead, can overcome the disadvantages of the standard string sign and replace it in clinical practice.
