Description:
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic cardiac disease that presents with cardiac hypertrophy. HCM phenocopies are clinical conditions that are phenotypically undistinguishable from HCM, but with a different underlying etiology. Cardiac tumors are rare entities that can sometimes mimic HCM in their echocardiographic appearance, thus representing an example of HCM phenocopy. At present, only case reports of tumoral HCM phenocopies can be found in literature. In this systematic review, we analyzed all the published cases in which a cardiac tumor mimicked HCM to the point of misleading the diagnosis, providing a structured overview of the currently available evidence on this topic.
