Platynosomum concinnum (P. fastosum) infection is recorded for the first time in cats resident in Nigeria. The history and clinical signs and the gross and histological lesions in five naturally-occurring infections are described. Whereas mild infections produced no clinical signs, heavy infections were fatal in at least two cases, the main lesion being a chronic cholangitis and cholangiectasis.
