The ground-state phases of a spin-orbit (SO)-coupled atomic spin-2 Bose-Einstein condensate are studied. Interesting density patterns forme spontaneously are widespread due to the competition between SO coupling and spin-dependent interactions as in an SO-coupled spin-1 condensate. Unlike the case of spin-1 condensates, which are characterized by either a ferromagnetic or a polar phase in the absence of SO, spin-2 condensates can take a cyclic phase, where we find that the patterns formed due to SO are square or triangular in their spin-component densities for axial symmetric SO interaction. Both patterns are found to evolve continuously into striped forms with increased asymmetry of the SO coupling.
