Your second video looks like

Your second video looks like a focal dilation of the pancreatic duct. Sometimes cysts are nodules and you can’t know until you get a needle in them. Precise power doppler will help to see if there is vascularity to it before hand. Regardless a needle here is helpful and inflammatory cell type vs chronic changes that may or not be active.
