Thanks for your question on HCM.
Yes, this can be aneurysm of carotid artery.
Another possibility is carotid artery tumour.
Common benign tumour is hemangioma.
So better to get done ultrasound examination of neck, MR Angiography for the confirm diagnosis of this vascular mass.
Also get done blood pressure monitoring as hypertension is common association with this.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
