Brief Answer:
several possible causes

Detailed Answer:
Hematoma is possible but only if there was some trauma of tongue and mouth. It rarely appear spontaneously with no cause.
More commonly such symptoms are caused by gland duct obstruction or infection and rarely tumor. If there is redness,pain and swelling then it indicates infection or abscess and antibiotics are required. if there is no pain and redness,just swelling then this is duct obstruction and you can use some home remedies such salt water gurgling, gland massage, enough water drinking,stop smoking.
Wish you good health. Regards
