What Could Bluish Spots On Gums And Brown Spot On Palate Indicate?

I noticed one very small blueish-purple spot on my gums. I went to my dentist to see what it was and to have it removed. Upon further examination he noticed brown spots on my palate. He referred me to an oral surgeon. Should I be concerned that it is cancerous?
