TY - JOUR PY - 1988// TI - Two cases of papillary carcinoma of the thyroid associated with psychosis and violence JO - Australian and New Zealand journal of psychiatry A1 - Stedman, T. J. A1 - Price, James SP - 203 EP - 206 VL - 22 IS - 2 N2 - Two cases are described in which serious violent acts occurred during the course of a psychotic illness and in which papillary carcinoma of the thyroid was later diagnosed. Several possible explanations are examined, including a suggestion that neuroendocrine changes reportedly associated with violence may have allowed existing thyroid cancers to grow so as to become clinically apparent.
