Well, I am a psychology major and I can take care of the nitty and gritty. First of all, NPD used to be called "Megalomania".

Egomania may "resemble" narcissism, but not pathological narcissism - as in having narcissistic personality disorder. It is a psychopathic personality structure. "Egomania" is vague and can describe someone like Paris Hilton, or Kim Kardashian. But who told you that Egomaniacs lack empathy, and better yet, how would you know that? What is it that lead you to this erronous conclusion? "Egomania" is simply a selfish, vain, and self-important person. Or it can be defined in another way. NPD has a real definition, it is a diagnosable clinical condition that is pathological. Ted Bundy had narcissistic personality disorder, he wasn't an "egomaniac".
