Usually asymptomatic: Liver hemangiomas are disorganized collections of blood vessels within the liver. They usually do not cause symptoms unless they get really large. They don't really have an appreciable risk of converting into cancer. Typically they are just observed unless they are massive or symptomatic. If it meets classic criteria for a hemangioma, you don't even really need to get repeat scans.

Common and benign: A liver hemangioma is a benign mass and is one of the most commonly seen liver masses by radiologists. If the suspected hemangioma does not have a typical appearance, a liver MRI may be ordered. Sometimes, these hemangiomas are followed up with additional ct scan and/or MRI in a 3-6 months to assess their stability.
