The EUS FNA will be performed according to the Francophone Club of Echo Endoscopy recommendations. For molecular biology technique, the samples will be processed within the UMR\_S910 unit. Nucleic acids will be extracted from the intra-cystic fluid or, for post-operative patients, from a resected specimen that will be collected into a tube containing a nucleic acid stabilization solution (Allprotect Tissue reagent, Qiagen). The nucleic acids will be extracted and then sequenced. The sequencing technology chosen (HaloPlexHS, Agilent) allows a detection close to 1% in allelic frequency. This new technical approach that links high sensitivity and specificity is also suitable with degraded and/or low-volume ( \<50ng) DNA.
