From Shape to Pathogenesis: Fractal Formation of Lichen Planus

The unique skin disease with involment of the immune system, accompanied by polygonal flat papules, is lichen planus. A lichen planus lesion progresses by agglomeration of polygonal papules. In contrast, lesions in the other lymphocyte-mediated skin diseases develop and progress by circular spreading from a primary point. Presuming that the shape of the object encodes its development, we hypothesized the pathogenesis of a typical lesion in lichen planus.
