You can use dynamic Sql, but check that the object exists first unless you can 100% trust the source of that parameter. It's likely that there will be a performance hit as SQL server won't be able to re-use the same execution plan for different parameters.

IF OBJECT_ID(@tablename, N'U') IS NOT NULL
BEGIN

END
