Abstract: We consider a second order elliptic equation with measurable bounded coefficients

$ (a_{ij}(x)u_{x_i})_{x_j}+p(x)|x|^su^{-\sigma}=0, x\in\Omega \setminus \{ O\}, $

where $\sigma >0$, $s$ is any real number, and $\Omega\subset R^n$, $n\ge 3$ is a bounded domain, which contains the origin $O$.
    The aim of this paper is to establish existence, nonexistence and behavior of positive weak solutions near the isolated singularity $O$.

Keywords:  Elliptic equation, singular point, singular nonlinearity, positive solution, existence, nonexistence.
