THANKS FOR YOUR QUERY,
i have gone through your question,
The hard structure on your cheek might be a dilated salivary gland duct or it could be a arterovenous malformation...you need to consult a oral physician, you might need to take a ultrasound scans after consultation..TO RULE OUT ANY STONE IN THE DUCT OR av MALFORMATION
