In the present report a characteristic pattern showed by cytoplasmic filaments (intermediate‐sized and actin‐like) in the perinuclear area of a freshwater teleost ( Pimelodus maculatus ) endothelial cells is described for the first time. Thus, many intermediate‐sized filaments are directly inserted in the nuclear envelope, but others are connected to one another and to the nucleus through microfilaments. It is suggested that these particular relationships between the nucleus and cytoplasmic filaments are responsible not only for nuclear anchorage, but also for nuclear movements
