Any swelling which is persistent for more than two months warrants further investigation such as biopsy. Granular lesion usually occur in the retro molar region secondary to chronic irritation sometime even from impacted teeth
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required

You are right to suspect cancer. It must be biopsied to confirm whether it is benign or malignant.
