Abstract: Let $Q(x,y)$ be a quadratic form with discriminant $Deq0$. We obtain non trivial upper bound estimates for the number of solutions of the congruence $Q(x,y)equivlambdapmodp$, where $p$ is a prime and $x,y$ lie in certain intervals of length $M$, under the assumption that $Q(x,y)-lambda$ is an absolutely irreducible polynomial modulo $p$. In particular we prove that the number of solutions to this congruence is $M^{o(1)}$ when $Mll{p}^{1/4}$. These estimates generalize a previous result by Cilleruelo and Garaev on the particular congruence $xyequivlambdapmodp$.
