Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,

This could be in relation to the infected tooth, any beningn lesion.
A thorough clinical and radiological examination is required.
What are the other symptoms associated with it?
I would suggest you to get the examination done by a Oral Surgeon and take an OPG radiograph to determine the cause and plan the treatment.

Take care!
I find this answer helpful
