a Full-field digital mammography in MLO and CC views and b CESM in MLO and CC views in a 38-year-old woman with pathologically proven invasive duct carcinoma grade II showing a left breast dense mass lesion with obscured outlines at the retro-areolar region showing intense enhancement at the post-contrast study measuring about 4.1 cm in longest diameter. c Follow-up full-field digital mammography in MLO and CC views and CESM in MLO and CC after neoadjuvant chemotherapy showing total resolution of the previously seen mass lesion with no sizable residual enhancing nodule indicating CR. The patient underwent a left modified radical mastectomy. Histopathology assessment revealed CR with no viable tumor cells, free resection margin, and free axillary lymph nodes 0/16
