dsolve(x^3*diff(y(x),x)^2+x^2*y(x)*diff(y(x),x)+1=0,y(x), singsol=all)
 

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