UGC 10043 is an edge-on spiral galaxy with some peculiar morphological features that relate it to unsual objects with orthogonally rotating components like polar-ring galaxies and orthogonally decoupled bulge systems, which are the result of peculiar evolutionary processes that probably include mergers, acretions or other ``second events''. We observed UGC0043 with the VLA in HI spectral imaging mode in order to further investigate its structure, kinematics and evolutionary history, and find that UGC 10043 is forming part of a small group environment and most important, it is presently interacting with its neighbour galaxy MCG+04-37-035The discovery of this interaction helps us understand some of the peculiarities seen in UGC 10043, and shows us that its morphology and kinematics have been strongly affected by its local environment.
