Dear,
If you do not have any symptoms and routine health check-up showed pancreatic cyst of small size, then you should have 3-6 monthly repeat sonogram to assess the size of pancreatic cyst. Consult gastro-enterolgist-pancreatic surgeon if you some symptoms related to digestion or there is any change in size, texture of cyst.
Wish you good health
