No, liver hemangioma doesn’t go away without treatment. People who have liver hemangioma rarely experience signs and symptoms and typically don't need treatment. They are generally small and even if they become large they may not carry significant risk.
What to do:
A liver hemangioma, also known as a hepatic hemangioma, is a benign (non-cancerous) tumor in the liver that is made up of clusters of blood-filled cavities fed by the hepatic (liver) artery. Usually, a patient has only one hemangioma, but in some cases there may be more than one.
What are The Types of Hemangioma?

What Is a Hemangioma? Spinal hemangiomas are benign tumors that are most commonly seen in the mid-back (thoracic) and lower back (lumbar). Hemangiomas most often appear in adults between the ages of 30 and 50. They are very common and occur in approximately 10 percent of the world's population.
A hemangioma (hee man jee OH mah) is a common vascular birthmark, made of extra blood vessels in the skin. It is a benign (non-cancerous) growth. The exact cause is not known. Hemangiomas are typically not inherited, but others in the family may also have had them.
Angiomas are benign growths made of blood vessels or lymphatic vessels, whereas hemangiomas are small growths made of blood vessels only. Cherry angiomas are most commonly associated with adults. Hemangiomas can appear in early infancy through childhood.

Hemangiomas are bundles of blood vessels that form benign, or noncancerous, tumors in the liver. Many people who have liver hemangiomas don't know they have them.
What causes a liver hemangioma? Doctors are still not sure what causes liver hemangiomas. In some cases, liver hemangiomas may be present from birth, but they can also develop at any point during a person's life. They are more common in people aged 30–50 years, and more likely to occur in women than in men.
Giant liver hemangiomas are defined by a diameter larger than 5 cm. In patients with a giant liver hemangioma, observation is justified in the absence of symptoms. Surgical resection is indicated in patients with abdominal (mechanical) complaints or complications, or when diagnosis remains inconclusive.
Large hemangiomas are often heterogeneous (,10). They are termed giant hemangiomas when they exceed 4 cm in diameter (,3,,11). However, some authors define giant hemangiomas as lesions greater than 6 cm (,12) or 12 cm (,13) in diameter.
Hemangiomas share similar characteristics to other liver lesions, and are commonly mistaken for malignant hyper vascular tumors of the liver, such as hepatoma (hepatocellular carcinoma) and fibrolamellar carcinoma.
Hemangioma — the most common benign tumor of the liver. The tumors are abnormal blood vessels that grow by dilating. Most of these tumors do not cause symptoms and need no treatment. Some may bleed or cause pain and need to be removed.
Hemangiomas of the skin can form in the top layer of skin or in the fatty layer underneath, which is called the subcutaneous layer. At first, a hemangioma may appear to be a red birthmark on the skin. Slowly, it will start to protrude upward from the skin. However, hemangiomas are not usually present at birth.
Capillary hemangioma is one of the most common benign orbital tumors of childhood affecting up to 5% of infants under the age of 1 year. It can be superficial, presenting as a red, raised lesion, it can be deep, presenting as a dark blue lesion that may extend into the orbit or may present both of the above components.
A congenital hemangioma (hee-man-jee-OH-muh) is a type of birthmark that happens when a tangled group of blood vessels grow in or under a baby's skin. Congenital means present at birth, so babies who have these hemangiomas are born with them.
Hemangioma of intracranial structures D18. 02 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM D18. 02 became effective on October 1, 2021.
