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

\begin{align*} y \left (x \right ) = \frac {\sqrt {\left (a -1\right ) \left (x^{\frac {2}{a}} c_{1} a -x^{\frac {2}{a}} c_{1} -x^{2}\right )}}{a -1} y \left (x \right ) = -\frac {\sqrt {\left (a -1\right ) \left (x^{\frac {2}{a}} c_{1} a -x^{\frac {2}{a}} c_{1} -x^{2}\right )}}{a -1} \end{align*}
