What Causes A Lump On Tongue?

Hi I have noticed a lump inside my tongue on the left side about a 3rd of the way back(the widest part of the tongue) It is smooth to feel & can only be felt with my fingers. It feels the size of a large pea but is totally painless. My wife is currently having treatment for breast cancer so cancer is at the forefront of my mind as my wife started with feeling a lump in her lymph nodes. Any advice would be appreciated
