Would you treat the mandible if the patients has osteonecrosis from zoledronic acid but also multiple myeloma in this region, biopsy proven?
Answer from: at Community Practice
Plasma cells can be seen in mandible biopsy without myeloma in that region. Have had a similar patient. However, if the patient has confirmed myeloma relapse elsewhere or systemically then would treat relapse with chemo. Denosumab or zometa is contraindicated due to confirmed osteonecrosis. Not sure...
