welcome to Health care magic.
1.The first possible cause could be lymph nodal lump / mass ( not mentioned about pain / soreness )
2.Second possible cause could be - cystic mass from thyroid, parathyroid, submandibular, parotid ( this can be confirmed with an ultrasound lumps for their nature and its extensions)
3.Other cause could be vascular pathology.

Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
