thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the swelling or lump could be be a lymphnode secondary to any infection or it can be intramasseteric lipoma. consult a oral physician to rule out these things and get an ultrasound of that area. if it is a lipoma or fibroma it can be removed surgically. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
