They are classified as extra-abdominal, abdominal wall, or intra-abdominal; the last is more common in patients with FAP. [26] Most cases occur in the mesentery, abdominal wall, and extremities. [27] One study has shown extra-abdominal tumors making up 43% of cases, abdominal tumors 49%, and mesenteric 8%, though statistics vary. [16]
