Epimer:
Epimers are the optical stereoisomers which differ with respect to the spatial configuration around only one asymmetric carbon out of more than one asymmetric carbon in the molecule.
e,g. Glucose and Mannose (they are C2 epimers)
Glucose and Galactose (they are C4 epimers)
Glucose and Galactose (they are C4 epimers)
