\begin{align*} 2 x^{2} y-x^{3} y^{\prime }&=y^{3} \end{align*}

Solution by Maple

Time used: 0.001 (sec). Leaf size: 30

dsolve(2*x^2*y(x)-x^3*diff(y(x),x) = y(x)^3,y(x), singsol=all)
 
\begin{align*} y &= \frac {x^{2}}{\sqrt {x^{2}+c_1}} \\ y &= -\frac {x^{2}}{\sqrt {x^{2}+c_1}} \\ \end{align*}

Solution by Mathematica

DSolve[2*x^2*y[x]-x^3*D[y[x],x] == y[x]^3,y[x],x,IncludeSingularSolutions -> True]
 
\begin{align*} y(x)\to -\frac {x^2}{\sqrt {x^2+c_1}} \\ y(x)\to \frac {x^2}{\sqrt {x^2+c_1}} \\ y(x)\to 0 \\ \end{align*}
