What Does A Lump On My Cheek Indicate?

I have a pea sized lump on my cheek an inch under my cheekbones. Its been there over a year. Started small and has grown to the size of a pea. Doesn t hurt. I shouldn t have but I poked it with a sterelized needle and quite a bit of clear fluid came out. What is this thing?
