Tanner Stages of Breast Development and Male External Genitalia

The description of Tanner stages for breast development:
 1. Prepubertal
 2. Breast and papilla elevated as small mound; areolar diameter increased
 3. Breast and areola enlarged, no contour separation
 4. Areola and papilla form secondary mound
 5. Mature; nipple projects, areola part of general breast contour
For penis and testes:
 1. Prepubertal, testicular volume <4 mL
 2. Slight enlargement of penis; enlarged scrotum, pink, texture altered, testes 4–6 mL
 3. Penis longer, testes larger (8–12 mL)
 4. Penis and glans larger, including increase in breadth; testes larger (12–15 mL), scrotum dark
 5. Penis adult size; testicular volume > 15 ml
