EUS Pancreas Biopsy

I have a second EUS scheduled in a couple weeks because a pancreas biopsy wasn't done at the first one. I recently had an MRCP which showed a small pancreatic cyst. Will the biopsy be done to the cyst or just somewhere on my pancreas?

An EUS is an endoscopic ultrasound. It's an internal ultrasound where they go in through your mouth.
