There can be tremendous variation in penis size. It will also depend on what Tanner stage of sexual development he is in. Again, this can vary from patient to patient. Stage 1 (or early adolescent) where the penis size is pre-adolescent can range anywhere from 10.5 to 14 years.

You can discuss this question with your son's pediatrician.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
