Oh no, poor Darwin! It is possible that he has a tumor in his mouth, and if it's growing, it could be malignant. The best thing you can do for him is having him seen by a vet. The vet can perform a test called a fine needle aspirate on it. To do this, the vet sticks a small needle into the lump to get a sample of it's cells, and examines the cells on a slide under a microscope. It's usually painless to the animal, and relatively quick to perform. I would have him seen by a vet first thing tomorrow.
