Maxillary Torus: Sounds like a Torus Palatinus, or maxillary torus. Can hurt when it gets scraped or cut. Often happens with hard bread, chips, pretzels, etc. Takes a while to heal. Similar to those in your lower jaw. Good Luck.

See a dentist: Unfortunately, without more medical history about your overall health and without the ability to examine the lump and characterize it better (pain, recent injury, etc), it is difficult to anticipate exactly what this might be. See a dentist for the proper diagnosis and treatment if needed.
