Solution by Maple

Time used: 0.047 (sec). Leaf size: 36

dsolve(x^2*diff(y(x),x)^2-(2*x*y(x)+a)*diff(y(x),x)+y(x)^2 = 0,y(x), singsol=all)
 

\begin{align*} y \left (x \right ) = -\frac {a}{4 x} \\ y \left (x \right ) = x c_{1} -\sqrt {c_{1} a} \\ y \left (x \right ) = x c_{1} +\sqrt {c_{1} a} \\ \end{align*}
