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

\begin{align*} y \left (x \right ) &= \frac {3^{\frac {2}{3}} \left (3 c_{1} x^{4}-x \right )^{\frac {1}{3}}}{3 x} \\ y \left (x \right ) &= -\frac {3^{\frac {2}{3}} \left (3 c_{1} x^{4}-x \right )^{\frac {1}{3}} \left (1+i \sqrt {3}\right )}{6 x} \\ y \left (x \right ) &= -\frac {\left (3^{\frac {2}{3}}-3 i 3^{\frac {1}{6}}\right ) \left (3 c_{1} x^{4}-x \right )^{\frac {1}{3}}}{6 x} \\ \end{align*}
