See a doctor: could be a lymph node, or related to thyroid, or a congenital cyst, or it could be a simple fat. so see a doctor, they can assured you, or treat you. good luck

Investigate: There's no reason for you to be worried. Probably a simple explanation such as a calcified salivary duct or scar tissue from biting your cheek. This is not a problem that can be diagnosed sight unseen. Please call your Dentist for a differential diagnosis and appropriate treatment. You'll be glad you did.
