Hello,
Welcome to hcm,
Treatment of hepatic hemangioma depends on the size. If its small and asymptomatic then you can just have regular followup with ultrasound. If the size is large and painful then you can go for local resection. Hemangioma turning into malignancy is rare. Only complication is sometimes they may spontaneously rupture resulting in bleeding.
Thank you
