Brief Answer:
Cyst is possible reason.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.

Thank you for the query.

This lump is most likely a cyst or abscess connected with extracted tooth area. For sure its nothing serious, otherwise you would not be able to have it for so long.
However it should not be left alone either. In my opinion you should have an ultrasound of this lump and teeth x-ray. If its fluid filled lump, should be drained or removed.

Hope this helps. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
