Background and Objectives: The diagnosis of pancreatic cysts is mostly based on a combination of morphological appearance and fluid analysis of amylase and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). We aimed to assess the capability of the string sign in differentiating mucinous from non-mucinous pancreatic cysts. Materials and Methods: All patients who were referred for endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) for pancreatic cysts assessment from 2015 to 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Results: Our cohort consisted of 112 patients. Of them, 92 patients (82.1%) had mucinous cystic neoplasms (group A) and 20 patients (17.9%) had non-mucinous cystic neoplasms (group B). The average age in groups A and B was 71.3 and 60.4 years, respectively. String sign was positive in 47 patients (51.1%) and negative in 21 patients (22.8%) in group A, while in group B, string sign was negative in 19 patients (95%). String sign showed significant correlation with the diagnosis of mucinous cystic neoplasms (OR 64.2, 95% CI 8.1–508.6, p = 0.0001). Cytology confirmed mucinous cystic neoplasms that included 32 patients; the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of string sign for mucinous cystic neoplasms were high, reaching 93.8%, 85.7%, 96.8%, and 75%, respectively, with an excellent accuracy rate of 92.3%. Conclusions: The string sign is highly accurate for predicting pancreatic mucinous cystic neoplasms, and should be used as an important aid for improving diagnostic accuracy.
