Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic and thanks for putting up the query,

I've reviewed the images,

The lesions in the pictures don't seem to be malignant at all of their appearances.

They are rather mucosal cysts or minor salivary glands.

Any further questions are always welcome.

Take care
Thanks and regards
