Dear Ishtiaq

As per your USG, you are having SOL in Liver, which is likely hemangioma as per report. I would suggest you to undergo a liver specific (Triphasic) CT scan or MRI to be sure about the diagnosis. In case, the diagnosis remains 'hemangioma', then you should understand that there is no medical management for the hemangioma.

Surgery is indicated only in case of symptoms which may be vary from persistent pain to rupture leading to bleeding, compression of surrounding organs, bleeding inside the tumor (may present as pain, sudden increase in size of tumor or symptoms of bleeding like weakness and fall in Hemoglobin) or fall in platelets.

However, you should not assume that any pain in abdomen should not be attributed to hemangioma although you should be vigilant to detected any sudden onset of pain which may be an indication for bleed inside tumor or tumor rupture.
