Could Lump Under Jaw Bone Be Cancer?

I have a hard lump under my left jaw bone, below my molars. It feels like a cheery pit, and I can not move it. It does not hurt unless I mess with it. The dentist could not find anything on the x-rays. I see a ENT next week but I am worried. Could it be Cancer?

Hi,Dear,thanks for the query to my HCM virtual Clinic.I studied your query in depth.IN My opinion -this lump is not a Cancer-as its tender to pressure handling.Its mostly a infective lump-AS the dental xrays are normal, its not-Chronic Apical Abscess.Diagnosis-Hence mostly-its-left-Submandibular sileadenitis/ or could be Furuncle/folliculitis early stage of cellulitis? General / or ENT- Surgeon consultation would be the right step in your case.Hope this would resolve your query.I would love to help you for more queries.Good day.
