Core Tip	Intestinal tuberculosis is a chronic disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis and primarily affects the ileum and cecum. Small bowel tuberculosis (SBT) is rare. We report three cases in which patients with SBTs presented with intestinal stenosis or bleeding. Following a complex diagnostic process involving procedures such as small bowel endoscopy and even surgical intervention, all patients were definitively diagnosed and received standard antituberculosis treatment. SBT manifests primarily with nonspecific symptoms such as abdominal pain, weight loss, and occasional gastrointestinal bleeding. A comprehensive evaluation of clinical symptoms and various examinations including laboratory tests, endoscopy, and pathology, are essential for obtaining an accurate diagnosis.
