| Hi The swelling could be a fibrous epulis or something more serious but only a biopsy will tell what it is. Your husband needs to see his dentist for a referral to a maxillofacial surgon for this as soon as possible. If it is a mouth cancer, early detection and treatment can make all the difference. So, as Gwen Stefani says, "What are you waiting for!" Let us know how you get on. Best wishes Vinod
