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*}
