Abnormal vascular patterns in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) include **punctation** (small, punctate vessels), **mosaicism** (irregular, branching vessels), and **atypical vessels** (abnormal vessel morphology). Satellite lesions are not vascular changes but rather small, separate lesions seen in the cervix, often indicating progression or spread. They are not part of the vascular pattern.
**✓ Correct: B. Mosaicism**
*Note: The original question lists "C. Satellite lesions" as correct answer, but this contradicts standard colposcopic findings. Mosaicism is a vascular sign, satellite lesions are not. Hence, the correct exception is satellite lesions.*
**✓ Correct: C. Satellite lesions**
