Solution by Maple

Time used: 0.042 (sec). Leaf size: 35

dsolve(x*diff(y(x),x)^2-y(x)*diff(y(x),x)+a=0,y(x), singsol=all)
 
\begin{align*} y \left (x \right ) &= -2 \sqrt {a x} \\ y \left (x \right ) &= 2 \sqrt {a x} \\ y \left (x \right ) &= \frac {c_{1}^{2} x +a}{c_{1}} \\ \end{align*}

Solution by Mathematica

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