Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor, better yet, an oral surgeon. Wish you good health!

Salivary gland tumor: Is doing unfortunate things to surrounding tissues. It may be non-cancerous (benign) but it is still destructive. Change in appearance/texture due to malleability of sort tissues. Please see an Oral Surgeon for appropriate treatment.
