Welcome to health care magic.

1.The long standing history and location of the lump suggest - submandibular gland benign lesion.
2.Other possbilities - benign bony lesion ( osteoma ) usually hard in touch.
3.If he feels vibrations - some blood supply or nerve irritation is happening.
4.The next step should be - an USG - ultrasound to evaluate the nature of the lump, its source, extensions, vascularity.
5.Further an FNAC - fine needle aspiration cytology to find out what kind of cells involved, and removal of the lump - if causing discomfort or cosmetic issues.

Good luck.
Hope i have answered your query,
