dsolve(x^3*diff(y(x),x)^2+x^2*y(x)*diff(y(x),x)+a = 0,y(x), singsol=all)
 

\begin{align*} y \left (x \right ) = -\frac {2 \sqrt {a x}}{x} y \left (x \right ) = \frac {2 \sqrt {a x}}{x} y \left (x \right ) = \frac {x \,c_{1}^{2}+4 a}{2 c_{1} x} y \left (x \right ) = \frac {4 a x +c_{1}^{2}}{2 c_{1} x} \end{align*}
