dsolve(diff(y(x),x$2)+2*cot(x)*diff(y(x),x)+2*tan(x)*diff(y(x),x)^2=0,y(x), singsol=all)
 

\[ y \relax (x ) = -\frac {{\mathrm e}^{\frac {c_{1}}{2}} \expIntegral \left (1, \ln \left (\frac {i \left (-{\mathrm e}^{2 i x}+1\right )}{{\mathrm e}^{2 i x}+1}\right )+\frac {c_{1}}{2}\right )}{2}+c_{2} \]
