Hi
With your query, as you mentioned it is a hard lump or swelling could be a bone overgrowth or exostoses can't be abscess coz abscess will be soft in consistency and if you have unerupted tooth it could be a cyst? Nothing serious I don't know what bothers you to consider it as cancer unles you have hidden some history.Hope you don't have any adverse habits like smoking, betel nut chewing or tobacco chewing. Anyways i suggest you to visit a nearby dental oral surgeon for diagnosis and good treatment. Hope thus helps you.
