Would you treat the mandible if the patients has osteonecrosis from zoledronic acid but also multiple myeloma in this region, biopsy proven?

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...
