Michael Jackson suffered from lupus (the discoid type) that causes photosensitivity. Which is likely why he used to carry an umbrella and wear long clothes.
Also, lupus shows a higher prevalence among African Americans.

Discoid lupus is associated with dyspigmentation (not to be confused with vitiligo)
If a fracture occurs with trivial trauma, suspect a pathological lesion.
Pain, bruising and swelling are common symptoms in fractures, but they do not distinguish a fracture from a soft-tissue injury. Deformity is much more suggestive.
Remember also that some children with greenstick fractures, and elderly people with impacted fractures of the femoral neck may experience little or no pain or loss of function.

A peculiar finding in osteomalacia (rickets) is what we call a pseudo fracture ; X-rays often show osteopenia or vertebral crush fractures and, with more advanced disease, focal radiolucent areas (pseudofractures or Looser’s zones) in ribs, pelvis and long…
It can be commonly mistaken for a real fracture
While in reality it's not
The radiolucent area is just an area of osteo stems lacking CaPO4 which is a feature seen in vit D deficiency causing osteomalacia or rickets

Antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) are directed against one or more components of the cell nucleus, including nucleic acids themselves and the proteins concerned with the processing of DNA or RNA.
ANA has high sensitivity for SLE (100%) but low specificity (10–40%). A negative ANA virtually excludes SLE but a positive result does not confirm it.

Low-titre positive ANAs can occur in people without autoimmune disease, without obvious clinical consequences, particularly in the elderly.
Anti-dsDNA are more specific for SLE.
While anti-ssDNA are usually seen in drug-induced lupus.
