Abstract
Endomyocardial fibrosis is a rare condition that occurs primarily in tropical countries. It can often mimick a variety of other common cardiac conditions such as apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and Ebstein anomaly. We report a case of a left ventricular mass that at histologic examination was found to be endomyocardial fibrosis.
