The best: Approach at this time is a bit of patience. You have had exams appropriate for the initial evaluation of cystic changes in the pancreas. The MRI report is usually available within 24 hours and should go a long way in sorting out the possibilities. Conjecture now is unlikely to be helpful.

Benign or malignant: Cystic changes in the head of the pancreas is nonspecific. Most likely the finding his benign; however, cystic neoplasms do exist. Close follow-up maybe adequate initially. Ultimately it maybe necessary to do a biopsy.
