The most likely diagnosis is Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1). Key features include café-au-lait macules, Lisch nodules, neurofibromas, skeletal abnormalities, and learning difficulties. Management involves multidisciplinary follow-up, ophthalmic screening, developmental assessment, and monitoring for complications. The condition is associated with mutations in the NF1 gene located on chromosome 17.
