Abstract
This article reported a case of intestinal tuberculosis (ITB)in a young patient. ITB could mimic many other diseases such as inflammatory bowel diseases (Crohn's disease), abdominal lymphoma, and others which make it difficult to differentiate; hence, many ITB patients could get mis-diagnosed and suffer wrong treatment consequences.
